The Pilgrimmage Has Begun

In the cool of morning on this final day of the month of May, Iosephus, Robertus, Iacobus, and one other have departed from their abiding place in Ithaca to make pilgrimmage to Paris and to Chartres; there to remind themselves that life in this passing world is but a pilgrimmage to that holy Land that is the true home of all men who would accept the call of their Savior to join Him there in perpetual feast and adoration of the great God Himself. Let us therefore join our prayers with theirs today and for the duration of this holy weekend which celebrates the visitation of the Paraclete and the birth of mother Church, that those who travel will, by their bodily exertions, gain grace and indulgence from our Lord, and that their own devotion and fortitude will be used by God to begin again that continual rebirth of true Faith which Christians of every age are called to, so that in our own time the great and good Traditions of the Faith will again be known and lived from shore to shore: from sea to sea.

    Friends, I am so happy for you, that you have availed yourselves of this wonderful opportunity!

    Having considered going myself, my heart is a little bit with you there, and I look forward to hearing more about it.

    Two weeks ago, I broke my leg, so I believe it is providential that I was not inclined to firm up any intentions I had of going, by purchasing an airline ticket!

    God has shown a sense of humor in providing me with a substitute “spiritual retreat” that requires the very opposite of walking many miles. For the past two weeks, I have been hobbling on crutches and recovering from surgery, but I have not had so much uninterrupted time for prayer, contemplation and spiritual reflection in a very long time, so this minor cross has been a major blessing.

    May God bless and keep you all.
