Our journey begins from Jerusalem to Bethlehem. Here is where we came up against the wall that keeps people in Bethlehem from enjoying the freedom of coming and going, a freedom that so many of us in Canada take for granted.
Mass is celebrated in Shepherd’s Field (the field of Ruth) in the town of Beit Saur (the house of Vigilance). The dramatization of the Nativity is powerful.

March 6-2009
Before the morning departure from the city of Tiberias, the pilgrims took a final walk to the foot of the Sea of Galilee. Together in prayer, in the warmth of the sun and lapping waves crashing into the pebble beach, the group said their final good bye to the towns of Galilee and Nazareth and prepared themselves for the final journey our Lord Jesus took to Jerusalem.

March 3: the seventy disciples left the Hotel in Nazareth and straight went to the Basilica of the Annunciation where a mass was celebrated. The people had the possibility of visiting the place of the annunciation to Mary, the place where St. Joseph had the revealing dream and the synagogue where Jesus used to go before starting the ministry and immediately after.
The second step in the faith journey was a little church in Cana where the married couples devotionally share their vows.
The third step was the Jordan River where everybody rekindles the baptism of Jesus and their own one.
