What distinguishes a pilgrimage from a regular trip?
A pilgrimage is a personal invitation from God to embark on a spiritual journey that leads to a holy and sacred place, and enables the pilgrim to know God more fully. Although travel options are now more affordable, the purpose of the pilgrimage remains unchanged. It requires the pilgrim to separate themselves from the world and offer themselves in humble service to another. By seeking to learn more about God and praying for special graces, the heart is filled with desire, and the pilgrim returns home transformed, renewed and restored by the abundant blessings received. Success on this journey depends on openness, faith, flexibility, and love.
