Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
Prayer is at the heart of any spiritual journey, but how do you pray in a different way on a pilgrimage? Peterson recommends reflecting on Christ as a pilgrim, beginning with Psalm 84 before you set out and praying Psalm 122 at your destination. The Vatican and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops have posted Jubilee prayers on their websites. Ideally, you’d make time to go to confession and Mass as part of the pilgrimage as well.
It’s been said that everyone is at least a little Irish on St. Patrick’s Day (March 17), but how much do you know about the saint behind this celebration and how you can carry the luck o’ the Irish forward past the day itself?
