Description
Happy are the people whose strength is in you, whose heartsare set on the pilgrims' way!" (Psalm 84:4)Growing numbers of Christians are taking on the experience ofpilgrimage, whether journeying to shrines such as Santiago deCompostela in Spain, quietly walking through a labyrinth on thefloor of a great cathedral, or following a regimen of daily prayerand self-examination. The way of the pilgrim is a way of life.In this beautifully written collection of essays, Brett Webb-Mitchellreflects on pilgrimages he has led or taken part in and their effecton his life, teaching him patience, perseverance, and self-control.Among these journeys are his 100-mile walk to the Santuario deChimayo in New Mexico; his trip with students through the raciallybiased Piedmont section of North Carolina; a visit to the Basilicaof el Cristo Negro in Guatemala; and a rigorous vigil of fasting andprayer at St. Patrick's Purgatory in Ireland.
