We celebrate Mass at the Mount of Beatitudes where Jesus delivered his famous Sermon on the Mount (Mt. 5-7). Enjoy a hearty lunch of St. Peter’s Fish before departing for Capernaum, where Jesus began His Galilean ministry. Here we explore the synagogue where Jesus taught and see the site of St. Peter’s Home where Jesus drove out demons and healed many sick people, including Peter’s Mother-in-law, and the paralytic man (Lk 4:31-41). We peer into the excavated ruins of the apostle’s home through the glass floor of the Church built over this holy site. Next, we visit the Church of Multiplication of Loaves and Fishes, commemorating the very place where Jesus fed the crowd of 5,000 (Mt 14:13-21).

In Nazareth, we celebrate Mass at the Basilica of the Annunciation, where according to tradition, the Archangel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would be the Mother of God (Lk 1:26-38). Here St. John Paul II celebrated Mass during his historic visit to the Holy Land in the Jubilee Year 2000. We stop to Mt. Precipice, the traditional site of the cliff that an angry mob attempted to throw Jesus from after his bold proclamation in the Nazareth synagogue (Lk 4:28-30). From this precipice, we will enjoy a wonderful view of the Jezreel Valley. From here we proceed to the Gospel Trail and follow the very path walked by our Lord and the apostles. Tonight, we have a relaxing night in Bethlehem. (B, D)

We begin our day in Bethlehem with a visit to Manger Square and the Basilica Church of the Nativity, the oldest church in the world, with its recent renovations and newly uncovered mosaics. Bending low as we enter through the Door of Humility, we enter the Church and descend into the Grotto of Nativity. Beneath the Altar, a 14-pointed Silver Star marks the exact spot where tradition holds that Christ was born (Lk 2:1-7). We celebrate the joyous Christmas Mass in the nearby Church of St. Catherine and visit St. Jerome’s Grotto. The Church Father & Doctor lived in a cave located beneath the Basilica for over 30 years while he completed his famous Latin translation of the Bible, the Vulgate. We then proceed to the nearby Milk Grotto where the Holy Family stopped on their flight to Egypt and Shepherd’s Field and Grotto where the Angel appeared along with a multitude of the heavenly host announcing the birth of the Savior (Lk 2:8-20). We continue our day with a visit to a local Christian antiquities and souvenir shop that helps support dozens of local Christian families.

We have lunch in Jericho – the first city to be captured by Joshua as part of his conquest of the Land and the site of the Mount of Temptation. It was in Jericho where Jesus healed blind Bartimaeus (Mk 10:46-52) and converted Zacchaeus the tax collector (Lk 19:1-10). Take a dip in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea and shop for its world-famous skin and beauty products. Be sure to bring your bathing suit! Overnight in Jerusalem. (B, D)

Continue along the Jewish cemetery with a view of the Eastern Gate. Have some quiet time in the Garden of Gethsemane and the Garden of Betrayal, the site of Jesus’ agony, betrayal, and arrest (Mt 26:36-56).

We then proceed to the nearby Church of the Assumption, Caiaphas’s Palace and the Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu, which commemorates the three-fold denial of Peter and his subsequent conversion (Mt 26:69-75). Our final stops of the day are the Church of the Dormition where tradition holds that Mary “fell asleep” in the Lord, the Chapel of Cenacle, where St. John Paul II celebrated Mass and the Upper Room where Jesus celebrated His Last Supper (Mt 26:17-29) and where the Holy Spirit descended on Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4).

The Church is constructed over the sites of Jesus’ crucifixion (Golgotha), burial and resurrection (empty tomb). It is in this most hallowed of churches that we will celebrate the Solemn Mass.

This is it! When we began offering pilgrimages in 2015, we aimed to take our Theology of the Body lens out into the world and see our faith and those holy sites in a brilliant, new, life-transforming way. | We’ve immersed ourselves in St. John Paul II’s Poland, Our Lady of Guadalupe’s Mexico, St. Patrick’s Ireland and the cradle of the faith in Italy. | And it has all been building

to our 2020 pilgrimage to the Holy Land. | I invite you to join the Theology of the Body Institute team (myself included) on a truly life-changing 10 days in the Holy Land from Feb. 15-25, 2020. | There will be daily formation from the chaplains, from me, and from others on the Institute team. | We will celebrate Mass daily in incredible churches, and you will have opportunities for confession and spiritual direction. | You’ll visit all of the places one would expect on a tour of the Holy Land, with our own special TOB lens added that will illuminate this land where Jesus was born and raised, where he proclaimed the Good News, and where he experienced his passion, death, and resurrection. | This is THE ultimate Theology of the Body pilgrimage, and spots are limited. | I hope you can join us!
