Pilgrimage & Retreat: Day 2

Morning: Psalm 119:145-176; Micah 2:1-13; Acts 23:23-35
Evening: Psalm 128, 129, 130; Luke 7:18-35

Today we will arrive in Belém (which is Portuguese for Bethlehem).  Bethlehem, in symbolic terms, is the place of expectancy, of new beginnings.  Interesting that in today’s Gospel John sends a question to Jesus: “Are you the one who is coming or should we expect another?”
A question for today: What do you expect from God, if anything?
