Editorial: Pilgrims to the Holy Land seek God in the land of Jesus

This week in The Criterion, Daniel Conway writes an editorial about the pilgrimage to the Holy Land:
On Feb. 4, Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin and a group of pilgrims from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, including this writer, departed for the Holy Land. Like generations of pilgrims throughout history, these pilgrims are on a spiritual journey whose ultimate destination is God himself.
 
Criterion readers will have a unique opportunity to share in this special journey. One of our reporters, Natalie Hoefer, is making the trip and will provide a daily blog at holylandarchindy.blogspot.com.
 
In addition, Archbishop Tobin has said that his “Rejoice in the Lord” columns for the season of Lent will be inspired by this pilgrimage, his first experience of the land of Jesus and sacred Scripture. Most importantly, the intentions of all Catholics—and all our sisters and brothers—in central and southern Indiana will be remembered in prayer at the holy sites revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims.
 
What can we pilgrims from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis expect to find in the Holy Land?
