WEEKLY REFLECTION
On Pilgrimage
07-06-2025 | © LPi Colleen Jurkiewicz DormanBefore I embarked on my trip to the National Eucharistic Congress last summer with a group from my archdiocese, we had an orientation meeting. At that meeting, the coordinator of the trip shared with us “The Five Rules of Pilgrimage.”
If you’re not familiar with them (I wasn’t), here they are:
- Don’t complain.
- Don’t complain. (It’s so important, it’s listed twice.)
- When you see a bathroom, use it.
- When someone offers you something, receive it.
- When someone asks you for something, give it.
