During a recent journey to the Holy Land, we crossed by
land from Israel to Egypt. There was a caravan of three
small buses, and we were lead by an armed car. The trip
took several hours and I said to myself, "What are
you doing screeching through the desert and crossing these
borders in such a primitive way?" And then I thought
of another journey long ago of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and
what that all meant "Flight" and "Crossing
Borders". May we during this Advent Season cross the
borders into Peace, Harmony and Love and continue to be
faithful to the Prince of Peace.
