Have you ever done something you considered a pilgrimage? Have any meaningful practices you’d like to share?
Richard Rohr has plenty to say about Spiritual Disciplines of Pilgrimage in this CAC post, including the importance of:
- Silence
- Solitude
- Discipline of Speech – “Our patterns of many years are that whenever there is a moment of silence, we fill it up by talking. Let’s see if God can teach us a way to say only what’s necessary and what’s important.”
- Journaling as a summary of thoughts, not of activities
- Would current time with God and soul friends benefit from characteristics of Rohr’s suggested practices? Maybe a little solitude? silence? discipline of speech?
- If not currently part of daily life, is there an opportunity to make pilgrimage happen “right here, right now?”
- If you have any meaningful pilgrimage practices you’d like to share from reading and/or experience, please send those along to salong_now @ yahoo.com. Thanks in advance!
