During my first Holy Land pilgrimage with my Mama in 2015, everything seemed surreal. Walking in the actual places that I had only read about in books, saw on TV or posters, heard about, and studied in the seminary, seemed like a dream. While the pilgrimage was a huge blessing, visiting the holy sites significant to my Catholic faith was, however, done in a hurry because plenty of places needed to be covered in the journey to Jordan, Israel, and Egypt. I dreamt of doing more. In Israel, it was in Dominus Flevit, a Catholic church on the Mount of Olives opposite the Temple Mount where the walled Old City of Jerusalem is situated, that I dreamed anew.
