Opis

A pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1998 involved going to places which have remained largely unchanged since before Jesus walked upon the earth; and a visit to the Holy Land can but enrich a love of the Gospels by going to where Jesus was conceived, to where He was born, to where He prayed and carried out His ministry as the Messiah. As someone who has personally experienced the healing power of the Risen Christ, it is especially meaningful to have stood where Jesus transformed peoples? lives through His miracles and preaching. It is inspiring to recall His Passion and Cross, treading the Via Dolorosa, following Jesus? footsteps to where, after His Crucifixion, He was to rise from the dead. Our faith in these mysteries can be strengthened by letting such wonders speak to us as we take in many sacred images, contemplating their Gospel accounts. In these holy places we can as if get nearer to God; the journey through this book is a journey which retraces the footsteps of Jesus in His own land, encouraging us, wherever we are, in our daily walk with Him.
