Jewel for the Journey: "Making the Holy Land known means transmitting the 'Fifth Gospel,' that is, the historical environment and geographical area in which the Word of God was revealed and then made flesh in Jesus of Nazareth, for us and for our salvation." - Pope Francis (Apostolic Palace on Jan. 17) We are so grateful to this month's sponsor, Deanna Villarreal, who made this podcast episode possible.
