For the second post today, I thought it would be good to hear from a student. The following was shared by student Abby Bohl:

“I had everything planned out, I expected to see the bones of St. Peter and start crying. I soon found out that I needed to allow Jesus to give those experiences, and while in St. Peter’s, after seeing the bones, I was feeling bad that I didn’t have that experience. While sitting in prayer, I heard the Lord say, ‘be still my child’ and I knew I needed to let him provide for me on this pilgrimage.”

Thank you for your continued prayers!
