Tololy, what a great "coincidence”…you ‘just happen’ to go to Mt. Nebo when there is an ITALIAN mass! God heard the desire of your heart there, and I believe that part of what you experienced was His presence.

I personally feel inspired with every visit to Mt. Nebo, it is truly holy ground. I agree with Peter, a Latin mass in a European cathedral is absolute spiritual transportation. Let me know when you want to do the ’sermon’ part of that desire, our pastor is a great expositor of the Bible, and our worship in song very alive. :D. I wouldn’t have asked if you hadn’t mentioned it.

I agree with Lina too, I miss your posts! This one was worth waiting for, tho. :D

"I have always wanted to attend a prayer, or a sermon, or a mass in a church"

The best would be a latin mass, preferably in a cathedral. Very sublime experience.

I can totally relate to the feelings you had while inside the church. It’s all about seeing the good, pure side of religion and not the parts that have been twisted and destroyed. I felt that while attending a midnight mass service on Christmas Eve many years ago with my best friend, and again while visiting the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth several months ago. There was just something so peaceful and simple there. I don’t know quite how to explain it.

Awesome post Tololy,the area around the Dead Sea in Jordan and Israel is amazing places to visit!! I see that there is even some cool paragliding from the hill just south of the church of Mount Nebo in Jordan…. lots of sunscreen/lotion today I suppose,there’s a reported temp around Dead Sea of 32C…. and it’s suppose to be Autumn!

I can totally relate to that adrenaline rush of trying to beat my parents back home, hehe ;) driving solo around Jordan can be a very serene alone-time experience. Try Ajloun next time, it’s relatively close and has a refreshingly green mountainous landscape. Jil3ad near Salt is also an excellent destination. The only problem is probably that they’re not as touristy as Madaba or the Dead Sea, so they might not feel as safe if your car breaks down.

I miss your blog by the way, I mean I wish you posted more often.. no pressure ;)
