The Penitential Nature of Pilgrimage

There's a, the tradition that accompanies pilgrimage is often that of penitence. The idea in the notion and the practice of penance is not simply to punish our bodies. I think too, like, there's a sense in which pilgrimage has a way of resensitizing us to spiritual goods. So what we often find is that we want to want spiritual goods, but sometimes we find it difficult to motivate an authentic desire for them.
