Greetings from the Holy Land. I pray this email finds you all well. I have put together an email list made up of some of my family and friends. It is my plan to email everyone on this list occasionally in order to let you know what I’m doing here in Israel/Palestine. If you would like to be removed from this list, let me know. (You won’t hurt my feelings.) And please feel free to forward these emails to anyone whom you think would appreciate them.
Some introductory info: I am in a group made up of thirty-nine Mundelein seminarians who are studying in the Holy Land until February 12. The group is staying at a comfortable religious house in the heart of Bethlehem. We are about a ten-minute walk from the birthplace of Jesus, which is marked by a beautiful, ancient church. Some days we have class here at our home; other days we make trips on a charter bus to the tourist/pilgrim sites that surround us.
Know that you all will be in my prayers during my time here. Please pray for all of us pilgrims! I will now leave you with something I wrote for our community journal (which will eventually be posted with pictures at usml.edu). It’s cheesy, I know, but it gives an idea of what one of our daytrips looks like. Enjoy.
Peace in the Middle East,
Dave
