Walking
the Way of the Cross
By Pat Robins
I
had wanted to visit the Holy Land for a long time but when the
opportunity arose I felt that it had come too late for me. By
then I was profoundly deaf and blind.
This
was the first visit to the Holy Land for most of the group
I was with. Visiting all the biblical sites in Galilee, Bethlehem
and other places was a rewarding experience. The highlight
of the tour was to be walking the Way of the Cross, following
Christ's footsteps as he had carried his cross from Jerusalem
to Calvary.
There
is no adequate way to experience all that Jesus went through,
of course. But we can make contact with the past by meditating
on the biblical accounts of what happened.
