8 Dec 13: Паломничество в Святую Землю – Исполнение желания
Есть люди (таким был отец Серафим Роуз), у которых гора Фавор в сердце, и поэтому им к ней ходить не надо. А есть такие люди, как я, которым надо не только к горе Фавор, но и на Святую Землю вообще, и к святым местам России, чтобы их сердце хоть чуть-чуть стало таким, каким было сердце отца Серафима Роуза. С этой целью я и отправилась в паломничество в Святую Землю 23 сентября сего года с группой, которую возглавил Первоиерарх Русской Православной Церкви Заграницей митрополит Восточно-Американский и Нью-Йоркский архиепископ Сиднейский и Ново-Зеландский Иларион. Руководил группой протоиерей Гавриил Макаров. Были на нашем пути и искушения, и проявление Божией милости к нам грешным, и встречи с замечательными людьми. Обо всём сразу рассказать нет никакой возможности. Нельзя что-то определить главным и рассказывать об этом, потому что всё было главным. Но можно, пожалуй, поделиться тем, что проникло в мою душу.
