Introductory Talk #1 | Exodus: Pilgrimage of Freedom | Magdala

Introductory Talk #1📍 Magdala, Israel 🎵 Music: The In Between | Song by Matt Maher 🎼 Instrumental music by Diego Antonio Welcome back to our Virtual Pilgrimages. This series for Lent 2023 is introduced to you by Fr. Eamon Kelly, LC, and Kathleen Nichols, CRC. Here they review the Virtual Pilgrimages of the past years, expounding on the theme of pilgrimages as being relevant paradigms for living in the real world. By entering into the places and the lives of the holy men and women in Scriptures and the Saints, we are led to apply this axiom to our own lives: that “the glory of God is man fully alive” (St. Irenaeus). 🙏🏻 Every day during Lent at UTC+02- 6:30 P.M., you can join the Livestream Mass.
