Pilgrimage: “A pilgrimage is a ritual journey
with a hallowed purpose. Every step along the way has meaning. The
pilgrim knows that life-giving challenges will emerge. A pilgrimage
is not a holiday; it is a transformational journey, during which
significant change takes place. New insights are given. Deeper
understanding is attained. New and old places in the heart are
visited. Blessings are received and healing takes place. On return
from pilgrimage, life is seen with different eyes. Nothing will
ever be quite the same again.” (Sister Macrina
Wiederkehr OSB, an author and spiritual guide based in the
Benedictine monastery of St Scholastica, in Fort Smith,
Arkansas.)

A Pilgrim's
Prayer
If
some things do not happen as they are scheduled, Lord may I
remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If I should get tired and inclined to become short tempered, Lord
may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If my meal in a foreign country may not be to my particular liking,
Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If any delays should occur and I should become anxious, Lord may I
remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If some other pilgrim is making noise so that I cannot hear the
guide,
Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist! when I ask
that person to be a bit more quiet.
If someone takes a better seat or more choice place, Lord may I
remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If I find myself last in line or waiting, Lord may I remember that
I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If the person in front of me buys the last item which I really
wanted, Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If I should get a chance to help another person, who always seems
to be annoying me, Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a
Tourist!
If someone is always the "last one on the bus" and I am always on
time, Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
But Lord especially let me remember that what I find objectionable
in another is really what you oft times find objectionable in
me.
And let me remember this and forgive the other, As you are
continually forgiving me!"
"Keep yourself as a pilgrim and a
stranger here in this world, as one to whom the world's business
counts but little. Keep your heart free, and always lift it up to
God." ~ Thomas a Kempis
