| The Bus Arrives
We are looking at our getting ready to cross over more or less an island right now and we're beginning to crossover. But it screams old and its screams Kings and Queens and knighthood and the things you think about other at the times. Mitch: We are going to be walking soon to another pilgrimage spot called Mont. St. Michel. It is an incredible mountain. In island coming out of the ocean and there's a big monastery right on top of it and it's a devotion to St. Michael the Archangel. Mitch: It is what the early Jews did they made their pilgrimage, it's what the early Christians have done. And I believe somewhere along the way we have lost that. You know it became the church just two miles down the road let's get in the car and the mass on Sunday you know we've kind of lost that sense of sacrifice. And that's what this has been this has been a pilgrimage of sacrifice. It hasn't been the easiest thing but it has been the most joyful and that's all Christ's promise. He didn't promise the easy life he said, "My peace I give you, My peace I leave with you," and you know his peace here. Chris: My reflection on the site was thinking about St. Michel the Defender - the defender of God, the defender of faith, what great courage he had to set forth in front angels and proclaim God. I hope to gain by seeing Mont St. Michel courage as St. Michael had courage - to go out defend my faith and to show the world that I am not afraid of my faith and who I am because my faith is who I am. Father: Let's pray today to St. Michael to make us courageous, unafraid,
continuing, to stand up for what we believe, and if necessary to die for the truth, for the truth is Christ, Amen. |
