Product Description:
"Happy are the people whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on the pilgrims’ way!" (Psalm 84:4)
Growing numbers of Christians are taking on the experience of pilgrimage, whether journeying to shrines such as Santiago de Compostela in Spain, quietly walking through a labyrinth on the floor of a great cathedral, or following a regimen of daily prayer and self-examination. The way of the pilgrim is a way of life. In this beautifully written collection of essays, Brett Webb-Mitchell reflects on pilgrimages he has led or taken part in and their effect on his life, teaching him patience, perseverance, and self-control. Among these journeys are his 100-mile walk to the Santuario de Chimayo in New Mexico; his trip with students through the racially biased Piedmont section of North Carolina; a visit to the Basilica of el Cristo Negro in Guatemala; and a rigorous vigil of fasting and prayer at St. Patrick’s Purgatory in Ireland. |
