Snow Day

Today we were scheduled to visit Mar Saba, but due to the inclement weather the decision was made to postpone our visit until next week. To fill the void, we attended our classes, both in the morning. In Spiritual Direction we covered the contemplative mansions of the spiritual life according to St. Teresa of Avila. In Ecumenism we continued our study of the theology of religion. With class finished for the day, our afternoon was freed up. Unlike yesterday, when it rained off and on, today the precipitation turned to snow. However, it failed to stick to the ground, and men took advantage of the afternoon to venture out. Whether it was to pray at the Church of the Nativity or to stop by some unvisited sites, we enjoyed yet another day in the Holy Land.
