Thirty-four pilgrims are anxious to walk in the steps of Jesus! We celebrated Mass at 10:30am at St. Peter's Parish in East Austin. A few pilgrims from the trip in Jan 2009 were there with us to pray with us and send us off. Then lunch and off to the airport. I'm writing from Newark where we are about to board a plane for Tel Aviv. There is a big college group from Pennsylvania and several families of Jews in their customary garb, a new cultural experience for some of us.
It was a great pilgrimage. We arrived home this afternoon spiritually renewed. God's grace and love is so present as we visited the Holy places of Jesus life, ministry, suffering and death. A blessed 10 days. Thanks to family and friends for your prayer and support
