On the Road to Emmaus

“We are standing on Holy Ground.

There are angles all around.

Let us praise Jesus now.

We are standing in His presence on Holy Ground.”

This was the song began to sing once we left the airport on our way to Emmaus to celebrate mass. Emmaus is the place where Jesus broke bread with the disciples after his resurrection. We were unable to celebrate mass outside, because of the high temperatures. We celebrated mass in the chapel instead. After mass we checked in Norte Dame. Norte Dame is a Catholic hotel right in the heart of old Jerusalem. I was so surprise to find out that Jerusalem is not that big. It’s about the size of Rhode Island. I’m about to turn in. I am tired from such a long day. I can’t wait to see what is in store for tomorrow.
