AN INVITATION TO JOIN US!

DEAR FRIENDS, STUDENTS, READERS, AND FUTURE PILGRIMS,

NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM! THIS IS A JEWISH GREETING PRONOUNCED ALL OVER THE WORLD DURING FESTIVALS. HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT VISITING THE HOLY LAND? HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU SAID, “ONE OF THESE DAYS I AM GOING!” I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A TIME AND A MOMENT FOR EACH OF US, SET BY GOD… MAYBE THIS IS THAT TIME FOR YOU. WHY DO I TALK SO MUCH ABOUT JERUSALEM? IT IS MOSTLY OUT OF COMPASSION. I HAVE BEEN QUENCHED IN THE DEPTHS OF MY SOUL IN THE HOLY LAND AND I WANT TO SHARE WHAT I HAVE FREELY RECEIVED. THE OLD RABBIS USED TO SAY THAT A PIECE OF EVERY SOUL CAN BE FOUND IN JERUSALEM. I LIVED IN ISRAEL FOR TWELVE YEARS, AND HAVING GUIDED A LOT OF STUDENTS AND PILGRIMS, BOTH THEN AND SINCE, I CAN TESTIFY THAT WHAT PSALM 87 SAYS IS TRUE: “EVERYONE CALL SION “MOTHER”, AND NOT JUST SION, BUT THE WHOLE COUNTRY.

OUR PILGRIMAGE WILL BE IN THREE PARTS. I HAVE NAMED THEM LIKE THE GLORY BE: IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. WHY? I HAVE NOTICED THAT OFTEN THE FATHER EXPRESSES HIMSELF MORE IN THE DESERT; JESUS, IN THE NORTH AROUND NAZARETH, MOUNT TABOR, OR THE SEA OF GALILEE AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IN JERUSALEM. FOR THIS REASON, WE WILL GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE LAND, SOUTH AND NORTH, WHICH IS NOT CUSTOMARY. I WANT YOU TO BE LED IN THE CHRONOLOGY OF THE SCRIPTURES, AND EN- COUNTER GOD, AS MOSES AND THE PATRIARCHS DID, IN THE DESERT. THAT IS WHY WE WILL START OUR PILGRIMAGE BY GOING TO THE NEG- EV THROUGH BEER SHEVA, RIGHT FROM THE AIRPORT. IT WILL CUT YOU RADICALLY FROM ORDINARY LIFE, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.

WE WILL FOLLOW GOD THE FATHER, THROUGH THE BIG EVENTS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. THE SECOND PART IS WITH THE SON: JESUS WILL REACH OUT TO YOU IN GALILEE, THE PLACES WHERE HE LIVED, WALKED, MINISTERED, AND IN THE LANDSCAPE HE ADMIRED FROM HIS CHILD- HOOD TO HIS PUBLIC LIFE. AND THERE HE JUST MIGHT CALL YOU BY NAME. FINALLY, IN JERUSALEM, THE HOLY SPIRIT MAY BECOME A REAL PERSON FOR YOU, THROUGH THE FIRE HE WILL KINDLE IN YOUR HEART. EACH SOUL IS UNIQUE AND MIGHT NOT FOLLOW THIS PATTERN EXACT- LY, BUT I KNOW THAT EACH ONE OF YOU INVITED TO THIS PILGRIMAGE WILL ENCOUNTER THE FATHER AT SOME POINT, BECAUSE THIS IS HIS WILL, OUT OF LOVE FOR YOU, WHICH IS WHY YOU ARE READING THESE WORDS I AM WRITING. ALREADY, YOU ARE IN HIS PROVIDENCE. IT IS A JOY FOR ME TO INVITE YOU.

ALTHOUGH OUR JOURNEY IS A PILGRIMAGE, IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO TEST YOUR PHYSICAL ENDURANCE. WE WILL EAT WELL, STAY IN GOOD HOTELS, AND TRAVEL IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED BUS, AND YES, THERE WILL BE SHOPPING TOO. HOWEVER, YOU DO HAVE TO EITHER BE IN SHAPE OR BE WILLING TO STAY IN THE BUS IF YOU BECOME TIRED AS THERE WILL BE HOUR-LONG WALKS EVERY DAY. OUR PILGRIMAGE WILL ALSO GIVE US TIME FOR PERSONAL REFLECTION, ESPECIALLY REFLECTIONS UPON THE BIBLICAL TEXTS APPROPRIATE TO EACH PLACE WE VISIT, BUT ALSO TIMES OF REST AND PRIVATE MOMENTS.

MAY I YOU A STORY? ONCE I COMPLAINED TO THE LORD: “WHY DO I HAVE TO LIVE IN EXILE FROM JERUSALEM?” HE REPLIED WITHIN ME: “IF YOU WEREN’T ABROAD, OUT OF ISRAEL, WHO WOULD TELL MY PEOPLE TO COME TO ME?” MAY YOU BE LED BY HIS WISDOM TO MAKE A GOOD CHOICE AS TO HOW AND WHEN TO COME TO HIM. BOTH FATHER JACQUES AND I CONSIDER IT A JOY AND A DUTY TO INVITE YOU. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT I AM DEEPLY TOUCHED THAT FATHER JACQUES HAS AGREED TO LEAD THIS SPIRITUAL JOURNEY. HIS TRUST, HIS RESPECT FOR SOULS AND HIS PASSION TO GUIDE THEM TO UNION WITH CHRIST ARE VERY INSPIRING. TO LISTEN TO HIS HOMILIES EVERY DAY IN GOD’S LAND IS SUCH A BLESSING! HE JOINS ME IN SAYING: “KNOW THAT WE WOULD BE HONORED TO BE THE ONES TO BRING YOU ‘HOME’ TO THE HOLY LAND.”

YOURS IN CHRIST, SR. MAGDALIT
