It’s always a moving experience to begin the day at Gethsemane, with Mass at the rock where Jesus sweat drops of blood. Amer and I give our talks there about the meaning and agony of the garden. Then we drive up the Mount of Olives to the Church of Paternoster, from which Jesus ascended into […]

Started out with Mass at the House of St. Peter (and Jesus) in Capernaum. Always amazing to have Mass at the place where Jesus said “Eat My Flesh, and Drink My Blood“. The readings for the Gospel are always John Chapter 6! I gave my talk “Defending the Eucharist“ and gave everyone time to explore […]
