  • St. Paul's Pilgrimage to the Holy Land and St. Catherine's Monastery at Sinai
    St. Paul’s Pilgrimage to the Holy Land and St. Catherine’s Monastery at Sinai May 17-30, 2011 1 2 A PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND AND ST. CATHERINE’S MONASTERY AT MT. SINAI A Prayer for Pilgrims Lord Jesus, You traveled with Your two disciples to Emmaus after the Resurrection and set their hearts on fire with Your grace. I beg You: travel also with me and gladden my heart with Your Presence. I know, Lord, that I am a pilgrim upon this earth, seeking my true citizenship in heaven. During my pilgrimage, surround me with Your holy angels to guide me and keep me safe from seen and unseen dangers. Grant that I may carry out my plans for this journey and fulfill my expectations according to Your will. Illumine my mind with the incomprehensible light of Your Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor. Help me to see the beauty of all things and to comprehend the wonder of Your truth in everything You have created. For You are the way, the truth and the life, and to You do I give thanks, praise and glory, together with Your Father who is without beginning and Your all Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. AMEN. Why make a Pilgrimage to the Holy Land? For the Christian, Jerusalem – the site of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ - will always be the center of the world. In the course of 20 centuries, millions of Christians have made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, with their goal being Jerusalem as the most important place to journey to and pray at its holy sites – and with Bethlehem a close second.

  • Introduction Since the Jewish National Fund (JNF)
    Introduction Since the Jewish National Fund (JNF)’s inception, the nongovernmental organization with close ties to the State of Israel has planted over 200 million trees on over 900,000 dunams or 225,000 acres of land in Israel/Palestine (Braverman 2009, 48). The forests are afforestation projects initiated as greening and good environmental stewardship of the land. The afforestation projects created a “natural” means to possess and control land in Israel/Palestine for the Jewish state. The Jewish National Fund planted forests over approximately eighty-six Palestinian villages that were demolished and depopulated during the 1948 Nakba/Arab-Israeli war. The pine forests create both a physical barrier against Palestinians returning to their land, and also the forests hide evidence of Palestinians’ history on the land. Through JNF pine forests, one can see the struggle between both the State of Israel and Palestinians to maintain, or in the case of the State of Israel to establish, a history and thus legitimacy upon the land of Israel/Palestine. Both the State of Israel and Palestinians are struggling to legitimate their right to the land through established histories on the land in Israel/Palestine. Thus the acts of resistance legitimate and aid in Palestinians’ right to return to the land by preventing their past history from being covered by forests and forgotten. Palestinians’ acts of resistance, like continuing to plant olive trees and deliberately setting fires to the JNF pine forests are a struggle to preserve their history and memory on the land against Zionist efforts to eradicate it. Social and Material Ecologies The JNF receives donations for tree planting from all over the world.

The site address is: theworksofdeanladd.yolasite.com I have always been project oriented from youth on through my employment to retirement as an aerospace project engineer with Lockheed. This is the most recent of my twelve history and biography writing projects. They began in 1983 with my first published book, Faithful Warriors. That was about my re-walking all my Marine WWII Pacific battle sites. Then my writing focus shifted to genealogy (Hello Ancestors) and my ancestors’ involvement in the Civil War (Boots and Saddles), the Revolutionary War (Sons of Liberty) and the Medieval period royalty (Medieval Quest). INTRODUCTION About 700 years ago, the well-known Italian classical writer, Francesco Petrarch, wrote an imaginary dialogue with St. Augustine (d. 430) in Cecretum Meum (My Secret Book). I used a similar imaginary dialogue approach in writing my manuscript, Medieval Quest. Petrarch is considered the founder of Humanism (much different meaning then as compared to that of the present) which led to the Renaissance.
