We're heading home... Sadness that such a wonderful experience, perhaps once in a lifetime opportunity, is over.
We all have things we are looking forward to. Free refills. AC. Our cars. Family and friends.
But we all have memories we will remember forever. The Garden of Gethsemane. St. Peter's Basilica. The Colosseum. Holy Sepulchre. Bethlehem. Swimming in the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee, and the Mediterranian Sea in one trip. This is just the short list.
But the time to board the plane approaches. We didn't have time to make friends with people here, but our friendships and fraternity within our group certainly flourished. We did have time to befriend places and their historical and religious significance. Hopefully these will enliven our personal commitment to God, his Church, and give us another set of tools to increase our fruitfulness as fishers of men and workers in the vinyard of Our Lord.
