Tired Pilgrims

As the days go on, more and more pilgrims are beginning to feel the strews of walking and walking and walking. However, the places we've seen and visited have been awe inspiring. Our youngest pilgrim is slowly getting over food poisening from the plane flight over. Another is well on the way to healing from a sprain caused by uneven cobblestones... and rain.

Today is Friday which means that the Sabbath will begin this evening. Thus, many of our services (aka internet connection here at the hotel) are likely to be stopped until Saturday evening. Don't worry if there is a lag in our postings.

Yesterday's Mass at the tomb of Jesus was so incredible that I struggle to describe it. It will certainly be one of the most memorable events for me. Mass, in general, has been a real bonding thing for us all. Today we are going to celebrate Mass at the Church of All Nations. Afterwards we go to Masada and then float in the Dead Sea.

My body is slowly getting aclamated to the time zone. I even slep until the wake up call.

Just loving being here as are the pilgrims.
