“To go on pilgrimage is not simply to visit a place to admire its treasures of nature, art, or history. To go on pilgrimage really means to step out of ourselves in order to encounter God where he has revealed himself, where his grace has shone with particular splendor and produced rich fruits of conversion and holiness among those who believe. 'Pilgrimage' is often used to describe an individual's journey through life, sometimes as a general description of personal growth and exploration, sometimes, as in Christianity, outlining a particular spiritual focus or pathway which it is believed will lead to an encounter with God."
Pilgrimage is a common human experience in which one seeks to fulfill a ritual obligation, perform an act of devotion to atone for their own sins, live an experience of spirituality, or implore a grace, a miracle, a cure, etc.
The goal is always transformation. Anyone can travel to a location, but the pilgrim seeks to encounter something deeper. In that way, a pilgrimage is never truly finished, because hopefully you will come back changed, unable to return to old ways of living or thinking.
Journey of Faith Tours would like to help you on that journey. We look forward to hearing from you.
