Deep dives

The Nature of Pilgrimages

Pilgrimages are distinct from mere tourism, representing a spiritual journey undertaken for a specific purpose. The discussion highlights personal experiences, such as a pilgrimage to Lourdes, showcasing how such trips foster a deeper connection to faith rather than simply visiting holy sites out of curiosity. The speakers emphasize the sacrifice and intentionality involved in true pilgrimages, contrasting them with spiritual tourism, which often lacks a deeper spiritual commitment. For instance, leading a pilgrimage to Poland underscored how enduring difficulty can enhance the spiritual experience, thus transforming the journey into a meaningful act of devotion.
