Father Rolheiser: Post-Sophistication

“My own hunch is that we will get to where we should be going by following neither the instinct of the liberal nor that of the conservative fully.”

This is the way: The Eucharistic pilgrimage of the Mass

As someone who leads an apostolate for Catholic pilgrimage, I often get asked which one pilgrimage journey is my favorite. Easy answers recount long, arduous pilgrimages between California missions, or through the Wisconsin farmland that leads us to the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion, where the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a local girl.

My favorite pilgrimage, however, is the one I make each time I attend Mass.
