The Dome of the Rock

Below is the panorama of the Western Wall with the Dome of the Rock at the background (at the center, gold in color) .

The Dome of the Rock is a shrine located on the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem. The site's significance stems from religious traditions regarding the rock, known as the Foundation Stone, at its heart. The Dome of the Rock is located at the visual center of a platform known as the Temple Mount.

Prayers on the Wall

So excited that particular day, for we went to visit the "Wailing Wall" also known as the Western Wall. We were to go there to say our earnest prayers, prayers we brought along in our hearts and written down on paper.

I think I am suppose to continue to face the wall, even if I was already walking away from it.

Oooh. What now? The papers are so big, I can't insert them in the cracks, without them falling off. What to do? Re-write the prayers on smaller sizes of paper. There, there, success!!!

Look at the slips of paper containing prayers in the cracks of the Wall.

We all have that common faith and hope that we will receive answers to offered prayers. Blessings to us all!

On Trust

Be still and know that I am God :
I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Psalm 46:10

It's time to surrender everything to Him and to totally put my trust in Him. Let Him be my guide.

Paired to the verse above is the verse below.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6

The photo was taken at the Benedictine Monastery, the
Monastere de la Resurrection, one of the most beautiful buildings preserved from the Crusader Period that can still be visited.
