This week, the homily focus is pilgrimage—an intentional journey of discovery and change. Quotes for the following week come from Philip Cousineau’s book, The Art of Pilgrimage: The Seekers’ Guide to Making Travel Sacred (San Francisco: Conari Press, 1998).

“Ask yourself what is absurd in your life right now. Then recall that the roots of the word refer to being “deaf.” If you have stopped listening, try to begin again, first with what you love, then with what is difficult for you.

Something may be trying to reach you—a voice, a destiny.”

-Philip Cousineau, The Art of Pilgrimage, page 39
