With recent pilgrimage groups I have stopped the bus in Bethlehem to allow pilgrims “to be in touch with” the security barrier – separation wall. The last group wrote messages on the wall, along with laying their hands on the wall in prayer. Some might say that this is “too political” for people on a spiritual pilgrimage.
We remain in good company.

I just love Pope Franis’ way of following Jesus example and not counting the world’s cost in media comments. He follows his heart and conscience and uses it for good. If only more leaders would do this!!!
