Greetings
to all of you who are following us in our journey through the Holy Land.
Today
we visited the site where the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes took
place; we celebrated Mass there with a religious community. I felt very
welcomed by the community as they included an English reading and we prayed the
Our Father in English. This made me feel at home as part of the Catholic Church
founded by Christ in charity, peace and hope. Then, we went to the site known
as the Primacy of Peter. At this site by the Sea of Galilee Jesus took the
Twelve to teach them and in this place Jesus asked Peter three times: “Peter do
you love me?” after Peter answered; Jesus asked him to feed His flock. During
the time in this site I was praying for the people I will be working with. I
asked the Lord to give me a shepherd’s heart to be able to feed His flock with
Jesus’ love and care.
The last place that we visited was a synagogue; it was a
great experience to be there. In the beginning we all were wondering about
visiting the synagogue; however, I think most of us were amazed by the way the
Jews welcomed us. They were very friendly and open to talk to us and even show
us the Torah and a young man gave us a very nice explanation about the way they
pray. It has been a great experience being in the Holy Land and to see and
touch places where Jesus was. I want to take the opportunity to thank you for
all your support but most importantly, for your prayers.
Please keep praying
for us as we continue our journey in the footsteps of Christ so that we may be
transformed more in His likeness to feed His flock with love, mercy, and hope.
God bless you all.
