The Way Of A Pilgrim
The Way Of A Pilgrim
I've read this every year for over two decades. Why? I can't say for anyone else, but for me—perhaps as my own personal pilgrimage—it's a captivating reminder that we are spiritual beings navigating an immense, ever-expanding, and mysterious universe. It forces us to constantly remember who we are and how to live to make the most of our limited time.
This classic work of spiritual literature is the firsthand account of a pilgrim's journey as he endeavors to live out Saint Paul’s instruction to “pray without ceasing.” The narrator, an unnamed nineteenth-century peasant, sets out on his pilgrimage with nothing but a Bible, rosary, and some dried bread. As he walks, he recites the Jesus prayer (“Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me”)—a prayer that is said to quiet anxiety and fill the heart with love for all creation. With this prayer constantly on his lips, the pilgrim undergoes a profound spiritual education. These pages offer practical advice for every spiritual practitioner, translated in a way that is relevant, fresh, and inspiring.
