Thank you all for your warm concern and enquiries after the safety of our Holy Land Pilgrims. It meant a lot to us .
Yesterday, we were confined to the hotel and there was anxiety because of the air raid sirens and being regularly pushed into shelters. Today we collectively decided to choose to go to Jerusalem. It has been a great blessing and perfect completion of the pilgrimage. As we visit the sacred sites we are holding in our hearts the suffering of Gaza and Israel and beyond and the harm being done to future generations. We pray for peace by becoming peaceful but also by knowing there is no peace without justice.
This is our last day of pilgrimage. Thank you for being part of it.
