Today we had our last day of classes in the Holy Land, which brought lessons in Ezekiel and on the passion narrative of John. From Ezekiel we saw his deeply purposeful use of prophetic signs in order to display the way of the Lord to people blind to His word. From John, we gained an insight into Jesus’ passion, the heart of our faith, and the center of our lives. We received insight into His Light versus the light provided by the world, and that His Light had power even amidst seeming powerlessness. Both were valuable lessons for us as we continue toward priestly ordination!
Following classes we began to wrap up our trip. Some wandered the city making new discoveries, others returned to old favorites, and others to quieter things. Tonight we entered into a period of silence and prayer, a period of reflection and thanksgiving. The plan for our reflection is once again to recall all that the Lord has done for us on this trip through the places we have visited, the topics we were able to study. Please continue to pray for us as we wrap up our pilgrimage!
