We visit Mount Tabor – the Mount of the Transfiguration and discussed all the rich meaning from the Bible related to [...]

Our friend Nael Malouf got married on Sunday in Nazareth. We were happy to join the festivities. Traditions are still much like biblical, ancient times. This is a very traditional Palestinian Christian wedding (Catholic). Enjoy the short video HERE.

Well, not actually Mary, but girls from Nazareth from over 100 years ago. These are actually Nazarean girls getting water from the same well where Mary got water every day 2,000 years ago. To see the pictures of the well, the cave of the Annunciation and the altar that says, “The Word Became Flesh Here!” [...]

Janet and I met with Auxiliary Bishop of Jerusalem Msgr. Shomali and Jerusalem Patriarch Faoud Twal to deliver our gift of new English Missal. They invited us to come back any time with our groups.

It was sad to see the pilgrims leave. Emotional hugs and farewells. But today, our last day, was marvelous. We started out with Mass at the Church of the Visitation. I gave my popular talk on Mary the Ark of the New Covenant and how this message is embedded in the Gospel of Luke. Then [...]

What a great day. Weather much nicer with sun and good temperatures. Mass at Gethsemane. Songs and prayers everywhere else. Group is doing well and all are thrilled with the trip and often moved to tears.
