Dear
Friends,
This
coming Friday, I leave on
pilgrimage to the lands of the
Bible: Egypt, Jordan, and
Israel. I will be going with
Msgr. Labib Kobti, pastor of St.
Thomas More, along with 35
pilgrims from the San Francisco
area, including 3 people from
Mater Dolorosa. The list of
places we will visit and
celebrate Mass reads like a blue
print of the Bible: The Red Sea,
Mount Sinai, Mount Nebo, The
Jordan River, Galilee, Nazareth,
Bethlehem, and Jerusalem. I will
remember all of you in my Masses
and prayers at all these holy
sites. If you would like me to
bring your own personal prayers
with me, please write them out,
and I will leave them at the
different holy sites. Please get
these prayers to me no later than
Wednesday. I will be back in the
parish by Sunday, October 26th .
Please keep me in your prayers as
well, that we have a safe trip.
I am very excited about visiting
these lands made holy by
God’s presence and know that
you will be with me every step of
the way.
|
Have
a great
week!
