“You are the men and women of tomorrow.” – St. John Paul II 🗻

Two years ago, if you had mentioned the word ‘pilgrimage’ I would have likely given you a blank stare. I’d never gone on any type of trip connected to my faith before doing a part of the Camino de Santiago last year then Mexico City to see Our Lady of Guadalupe. Yes, it’s true, as (about to be Saint) Carlo Acutis reminds us, that you can encounter Jesus in your backyard through the Eucharist, in all the tabernacles of the world. But there is something encouraging, something that fortifies the soul, something that sets sights higher, to go on a pilgrimage and walk in the footsteps of the saints.

Saint Clement said, “Follow the saints, because those who follow them will become saints.” 

Highlights from this trip:

• Celebrating Mass every day with Father Johannes Schwarz. 
• Hiking on the Via Francigena, the ancient pilgrimage route from Canterbury, England to Rome.
• Visiting the Great St. Bernard Pass where there is an ancient monastery and hospice.
• Staying at Rifugio Frassati, named after Pier Giorgio, a place for weary travelers in his same charitable spirit.
• Visiting Mont Chetif and Our Lady Queen of Peace, where John Paul II gave an address overlooking the Aosta Valley, which he visited nearly every year of his papacy.
• Walking in the footsteps of St. Gianna Molla and her husband, Pietro, and visiting Notre Dame de Guerison, Our Lady of Healing.

I’m grateful to Chris and adventurepilgrimages and the whole group who made this trip a special one.
