An Encounter with Jesus Christ and his
Apostles in
THE HOLY LAND
6 - 16 FEB 2023
Dear Pilgrims,
Greetings of peace and joy to you in our Lord Jesus Christ!
It has been a month since we completed our sacred journey together. I am sure most of you, if not all, will remember this pilgrimage for a long time to come. I have found so far that journeys to this particular destination quite radically changes the way we look at our faith. At life even.
This has recently become even more pertinent considering the times in which we currently live. Inasmuch as our political leaders are reluctant to admit it, the recent experience with the pandemic has brought humanity to its knees. The secular world came to realise the fragility of our political, economic, healthcare and social systems as we garnered all our resources to fight the enemy that we couldn't seem to overcome.
I personally believe that we stand at the brink of a reconfiguration of human civilisation. You and I may not live long enough to see the fullblown outcome of this epochal phenomenon, but our children and grandchildren will be alive to witness the eventuality of what has now begun. The post-pandemic world will not be the same again.
Our recent pilgrimage reminds us to always keep in mind that seasons come and go in the course of human history, but God and His Eternal Word remains the same. Always. Therefore, remember that ultimately our faith in Jesus Christ is what gives us the resilience to conquer the most difficult of times.
My sincere hope and prayer for you is that our trip has strengthened you to carry your crosses, deepened your dependence on God’s strength, and heightened your resolve to joyfully bear all circumstances in life for the greater glory of God (and your own salvation!)
So here we are. In this webpage is the lengthy video footage we have prepared for you to view and to share generously with all your loved ones and friends.
Our journey has not ended. We continue to pray for you each day, for all the intentions that you have submitted throughout the pilgrimage. Do keep in touch with us.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all, now and always.
Yours most sincerely,
Deacon Sherman Kuek OFS
