To be a Pilgrim
Going on pilgrimage today usually involves using either a plane or a bus, though walking to Compostella has come back into fashion. Whether we want to enact, physically or not, the theme of pilgrimage, the more important journey is the journey of the heart. Here is an introduction to this theme as we find it through human experience, or the religious practice of many faiths. In Francis and Clare, or in those small places where prayer has been found to be valid and the veil between heaven and earth is thin and always the call to each of us is - 'to be a pilgrim'.
