Tierra Santa, now I understand the greatness of being Tierra and being Santa. Because
we have held on to the Earth to fully enjoy the
greatness that God has placed at our feet.
Being there you realize how worldly we often are,
the worries and anger that we can dodge, avoid and without a doubt we
wallow in them like fools. Here we have fallen and gotten
up, we have gone from the uncertainty of not knowing where we are to
reaching a safe harbor, because we believed we could. And leaning
on others.
We have held hands so as not to fall, hands of those we did not know
and with whom we have prayed with all passion. We have united our
prayers in such intense moments that no one can break those bonds,
no matter how far apart we are.
I have understood the meaning of effort, that the limits are set by ourselves, the importance of having a good travel companion
who encourages you, sometimes it is very good and necessary.
I have enjoyed friendship, laughter, lots of laughter… But most of all the
Great Love of God.
I looked forward to the moment of Mass, the Holy Hour, chatting… And the intensity
and sincerity from everyone, the joy and faith have been our best
travel companions.
Through the streets of Jerusalem I felt great sorrow for treating the Son of God this way,
I cried at Calvary and asked for forgiveness. Well, cry, I cried many times… Also
from emotion, from joy.
I wonder what I would have done if I had been there, the inner journey
begins now for me. This can only be to keep moving forward
knowing how to cry and knowing how to laugh, life is a path where the air never stops
blowing like a pleasant breeze or a strong gale.
Now I want to enjoy what I have lived, seeing, reading, listening… I do not want
routine to prostitute this immense peace of God that I have felt upon returning,
being there. Unrepeatable moments to reach the “more difficult still”, and with
a triple somersault, bam!, we managed to reach a moment even more special than the previous one. Certainly, the Holy Spirit has always been
with us.
And still is.
I take so much that I can only be grateful for helping me
feel this great embrace of God
