Trip of lifetime with my Mom!

Today's itinerary was all about our Mother Mary and it was so special to me because I got to spend the day with my mother, Evelyn.  I attended the trip with my Mom and it's been very special.  While visiting the Tomb of Mary, and St. Ann's Church, I was able to reflect deeply on my mothers devotion to Our Mother, and her ability to raise her kids with an abundance of love, modeling Mother Mary.  It was also special being Fathers day, although I miss my family, I can't think of a more amazing thing to do as a Father's day gift.  My children have an unbelievable grandmother as well and I was able to reflect on that at St. Ann's Church, the grandmother of Jesus.  The pilgrimage has been the most spiritually uplifting few days of my life.  Every day I am amazed at the way Scriptures are coming to life, and being able to be present and in the moment, and in the literal place of many Gospel  passages.  It is with deep gratitude and a sincere thanks to Trinity Travel, Mike S., and all benefactors that made this pilgrimage possible!  If you're reading this and are contemplating a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, my advice in an instant is GO, GO, GO!
