What words can capture the grandeur and majesty of our God, Jesus Christ, the King of the universe? While it does not capture it all, I found these words from the Te Deum most fitting: \u201cThroughout the world the holy Church acclaims you: Father, of majesty unbounded, your true and only Son, worthy of all worship, and the Holy Spirit, advocate, and guide. You, Christ, are the king of glory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, my pilgrim brothers and I journeyed in the footsteps of Saint John, the beloved disciple, as we visited one of the churches of Revelation and other places he most likely visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our fearless and stout-hearted bus driver took us from Antalya, right on the Mediterranean, to Laodicea.
