Mustard Seeds on Comboni Sisters' Property
...for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. (Matthew 17:20) I named this blog
Walking on Holy Ground before beginning this blessed journey of learning, prayer and spiritual renewal. I thoroughly believe we have been walking on holy ground throughout this pilgrimage. This is illustrated just by looking at the pictures and scripture quotes included in today's post.
However, each day I have come to realize more and more this holy ground is not the Heavenly Jerusalem that we will only encounter in the afterlife. The real Jerusalem (just like real life) is messy, complex, occasionally rude and even turbulent, yet incredibly beautiful and holy. Of the many lessons I have learned over the last month and a half, one poignant lesson is that all of us are walking on holy ground each day of our lives. The holy ground that God has blessed us with extends far beyond the walls of Jerusalem; the holy ground that we walk upon is located in the bayous of Louisiana, the beaches of Northwest Indiana, the busy streets of Chicago, the rural roads of Wisconsin, in all the places throughout the world where we live our messy, complex, occasionally rude and even turbulent, yet beautiful and holy lives.
