I'm here with Father Dave Nix and it's safe now where we're at Father, we're in Jordan.

We just left the Holy Land. We were there, we got there on October 7th, right?

October 7th, 6th or 7th.

Okay. And to me it's no coincidence that Hamas started bombing Tel Aviv on the day of Our Lady of the Rosary, our Lady of Victory.

It was October 7th, you're right.

Yeah.

Muslims have a long memory, and that's when we defeated them in the war battle,

in the sea battle at Lepanto in 1571.

But be that as it made.

We're happy to be here. We're safe, run our way home. We, uh,

we had two buses of pilgrims from all over the United States. And it was, uh, basically the,

the agency that we went with 206 tours. They said it's not safe for us to be here but

they were in contact with the embassy i was told and so they're getting information that they

basically wanted all-american tourists to leave the country as soon as possible for our safety

and uh father what how did you feel when you were over there?

So this is my second time to the Holy Land, a lot of new graces, just even walking into like the Church of Peter, being on, it was today,

you and I were in the Sea of Galilee on a boat, just really surrounded by peace.

And I think our return, I was surprised how many people were following our return on social media.

I think you in the West found it a lot more exciting than us.

And here's why. People who were scrolling through Twitter and seeing all of the, you know,

Iron Dome taking out missiles and stuff.

Where we were, it was actually really peaceful.
