This morning we departed Bethlehem and headed back to Jerusalem. We drove to the top of the Mount of Olives and began our descent by foot. Our first stop was the church of Dominus Flevit (where the Lord wept over Jerusalem). A pretty spectacular place, stunning view of Jerusalem, as well as being quiet and reflective. Here we celebrated the Eucharist.
Today we drive to the Mount of Olives, visit the Church of the Ascension and celebrate Mass at Dominus Flevit.
Afterward a visit tot he Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations. The afternoon takes us to Ein Karem, the birthplace of St John the Baptist.
