https://littleflowerbasilica.org/visit on planning a pilgrimage
In the midst of lovely rejuvenating of our temporal end, combine a vacation with a pilgrimage is very Catholic. A Catholic vacation integral to human person and soul. Good, beauty and truth. Looking to something more than simple fun.
Resources in WI are beautiful on vacation, heart of vacation a pilgrimage to these holy places.
IX Local day or perhaps farther afield. Homebound?
The Past as Pilgrimage & After Virtue offers a solution.
Ex/ Consider focusing on your Confirmation saint. The Holy Spirit drew one to him or her for a particular reason. This person was to be a model for one’s spirituality throughout life. The confirmation saint orients one into the communal life of the Church with ritualized memory, a feature of a pilgrimage.[1]
X Propose to start thinking about it now, plan for it (preparation both materially & spiritually), read about, pray about it.
The chief means of moral education is the telling of stories.[2]
By immersing oneself in the story, one becomes part of a living tradition which is socially embodied… Within a tradition the pursuit of goods (virtues, wisdom, etc) extends through generation, sometimes many generations.[3] This is a true Past as Pilgrimage.
Go to Confession, have an uplifting setting, turn off devices unless needed for meditations.
Many resources online, Mass or Adoration live streamed, enter into the truth, beauty, goodness of the lord
XI Exhortation
To be a Christian is to be bound by the past. Most of the sacred texts of the Old & New Testament deal with historical events, and the ultimate truth of Christianity depends on the historical reality of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ in a particular place at a particular time.[4]
The Father to Catherine of Siena Dialogues “we are designed to need each other.” We are not islands.
Though we are focusing on the USA, most every country has similar opportunities. Those in countries hostile to Christianity are challenged. Reflecting on the witness of the martyrs would be especially meaningful. Somehow, if safe, find a way to have a pilgrimage. It is part of a Catholic’s DNA.
Don’t leave the graces in the bank. St Catherine Laboure to Our Lady, why are there dark spaces from your fingers. Graces not asked for, graces not asked for beg, for graces.
Addendums
I invite you to make a pilgrimage to the Shrine Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe at La Crosse, Wisconsin, where you can see her sacred image—a magnificent mosaic of the miraculous image on the Tilma created by Vatican Mosaic artists—which draws the attention of pilgrims to the altar of sacrifice on which Our Lord makes present His sacrifice and to the tabernacle in which He remains for us as the Bread from Heaven. The crucifix which hangs above the altar of sacrifice, with the image of Our Lady as its background, reminds us that God the Son became incarnate in the Virgin Mary’s womb, in order to offer His life for us on Calvary and to make that Sacrifice ever present for us, until He returns in glory at the end of time. The Virgin of Guadalupe accomplishes her mission in her “sacred little house” in which her Divine Son dwells in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
