Dear Diary
Monday 22 April
Early in the morning pilgrims from around the diocese and beyond gathered at Heathrow Airport. (As one priest said "I didn't know that there were two 5:30s in one day".). In all 77 pilgrims travelled to the Holy Land with Archbishop Peter, to visit the places where the Lord Jesus lived and died.
Like pilgrims of old we arrived tired, unlike them we flew in to Tel Aviv Airport.
The first part of our pilgrimage is in Jerusalem, and we have arrived at the Hotel Gloria in the Old City, protected by the thick City Wall.
Time to settle into rooms then a welcome reception, dinner and bed!

Tuesday 23 April - Day One
We gather at 9:00 am to begin our time together. There is a milling crowd of Southwark pilgrims as we are given 1) a small wooden cross 2) a map 3) a bottle of water (welcome but not essential as the weather is warm but not scorching) and 4) a headset and receiver (lose it at your peril $100 fine!). The headset proves a true blessing as the guide can speak to each of us at a distance ... no shouting but a pleasant conversational style. All wired up we head off on foot. The Itinerary seems to be more of a guide (or an aspiration) rather than set in stone.

Wednesday 24 April - Day Two
Gathering at 8:00 am (always be prompt we are reminded), more water is handed out - expected to be warmer today - new batteries for those flagging (headsets not people). Then a short walk to the coaches. We are off the the Mount of Olives.
We start at the top of the Mount of Olives at a small enclosure believed to be the spot where Jesus ascended to heaven. The ebb and flow of nations ruling in the Holy Land has left the building here at the top of the Mount as the Mosque of the Ascension, but pilgrims and tourists are able to visit with little restriction, in fact Christians are able to gather in the precincts several times a year for prayer despite it being a Mosque. A stall has guides, pictures and furry camels for sale. Archbishop Peter comments that perhaps he should have a camel in his office... and shortly a very kind pilgrim presents him with one of his ..
Dear Diary,
Thursday 25 April - Day Three
After lunch we bid farewell to the Hotel Gloria, and boarded the coaches to (eventually) go to Bethlehem. First stop on our route was just outside the Jerusalem city wall: Mount Sion. The pilgrims first walk to see the Abbey of the Dormition. This title comes from the moment when Our Lady ended her earthly journey, and "fell asleep", as our faith teaches us that Mary did not die, but was assumed into heaven body and soul. The Church in this place marks a possible place where Mary lived after the Ascension of Jesus. The lower chapel in the church houses a statue featuring the form of Our Lady sleeping, with an image of her risen Son in the ceiling above her. From here we moved on to the "Upper Room", the Cenacle, built in the area where it is thought that Jesus and the disciples gathered to mark the Passover, Jesus' Last Supper and the institution of the Eucharist. Time and tide have swept over Jerusalem many times, many empires and armed forces have come and gone, changing the landscape of the buildings, so it is a newer building which marks ..

Friday 26 April - Day Four
An early alarm call at 6:30 am begins the process of mustering the pilgrims for the day ahead - unless they were still awake from the 4 am-ish Muslim call to prayer from the nearby Minaret! Having broken fast we gather in the hotel lobby to walk to our morning Mass. The Latin Catholic Church of St Catherine is a part of the Church of the Nativity (which itself is a large interconnected set of buildings of the several Christian denominations in the Holy Land). With the Mass prayers focusing on the birth of Christ, Archbishop Peter offered Mass for the children of the world, especially the orphans, the poor, the sick, and the abused - and Mgr Matthew Dickens gave a reflection on the readings.
Dear Diary,
Saturday 27 April - Day Five
Another day on pilgrimage. Bethlehem starts up its day once again. Today we are heading East . The first stop of the day is on the outskirts of Jericho, where we celebrate our pilgrimage Mass in the Latin Catholic parish church ... where we are pleasantly surprised to see a full copy of the new Missal, saving the Archbishop's eye sight peering at small text in low light (as has already happened). Fr Richard Plunkett gives the homily on the readings; we had heard Jesus encouraging his followers to believe in him.
