Pilgrimage to the Holy Land

11-Day Pilgrimage to the Holy Land

Led by Father Joseph Johnson, Friend and Supporter of MAGNIFICAT

Tour Dates: September 28–October 8, 2024

Dear Friends,

Since the beginning of the 4th century, followers of Christ have made their way to the Holy Land. Countless Christians of all stripes have taken this often arduous journey for many reasons. The vast majority heard the call to experience for themselves the place of Christ’s birth, the towns in which he preached, and the city in which he suffered, died, and rose from the dead for our salvation.

Like the Magi in the Gospel, today's pilgrims are drawn and guided by a star. It does not always shine with the same brilliance, but still they rise up in response to an intimate whisper. They know not what awaits them; nor can they imagine the detours they will take, the difficulties that will confront them, the people they will meet, and the words they will hear. They trust in the star and let themselves be guided by, and to, the Light.

In the unique setting of the Holy Land, God has always come to speak to his people, revealing to them the startling mysteries of his love.

We will celebrate daily Mass and provide opportunities for Lectio Divina. With MAGNIFICAT as your guide and prayer companion, you can listen more attentively to the voice of the Holy Spirit and experience a foretaste of the joys we will share when at last we step foot in the new Jerusalem.

We hope you will prayerfully consider joining us on this journey!

President of MAGNIFICAT, USA
