Still trying to follow the way of the pilgrim, in February 2018 I took the opportunity to travel to the Holy Land, on a tour organised by Embrace the Middle East. A group from north Oxfordshire joined a group from Hertfordshire to make up this group of pilgrims. I am going to share prayers that I wrote each day, as I continue to reflect and wonder about this multi-layered, multi-faceted adventure.
Day one, we arrive into Tel Aviv and travel to Bethlehem.
For what I am about to receive,
may I be open and thankful and blessed and real.
Amen
