This homily was given at a Mass in Tiberias, Israel for the beginning of a pilgrimage in the Holy Land; I will be posting my homilies each day, but they will no longer be on the readings of the day but according to the holy site where I will be. I will try to indicate what the readings were each day. I ask for your prayers during my pilgrimage, as I assure you of my own for you.
