  • 2019 Ireland Info Sheet
    Dear Fellow Pilgrim, Come to the land of Patrick. A land that enslaved him, but which Patrick set free from her pagan ways. Stand upon the Hill of Slane and look upon the land before you. It is from that hill that the Christian story of a race starts, when, upon it, Patrick lit a paschal fire. The sparks of this fire were never to die. Instead, from those flames the Catholic faith found its way to new lands and new continents as Irish pilgrims went out sowing in tears so that you could return to sing Psalms. Walk with us among Erin’s ancient lanes, through her ruined monasteries, past the sites where long ago were fought the battles that even today still resonate. You will see the scars of more recent conflicts upon the walls of the disputed North. Of course, you will taste the hospitality of the Irish, which is legendary. Eat and drink their fine foods and even better beers from a land that knows the value of a feast. Experience the “craic” – that indefinable Irish word for “a party,” but which is so much more than just that. History, culture, food and drink, breath-taking scenery: we will make trips to islands set in the swirling Atlantic, journey through city streets as their stories are told. All of this you would expect on a trip to Ireland. But this is an Inside the Vatican experience, so it is going to be different. We are not inviting you to come on “a tour.” Instead we are inviting you to come on pilgrimage.

  • We Are a Pilgrim People. We Are a People, Who Are Always Moving, Always Wanting More, Never Satisfied, Never Full and Never Finished
    We are a pilgrim people. We are a people, who are always moving, always wanting more, never satisfied, never full and never finished. We are a pilgrim people. Go back to the Garden, we were created with pilgrim hearts: hearts to know, hearts to love, hearts to seek and glorify the God who made us and walks with us. And that has not changed. Life this side of Eden may be far busier, far more distracting, incredibly more difficult and not nearly as beautiful BUT our hearts are still the same. And as St. Augustine so truthfully prayed: You have made us for yourself O Lord and our hearts are restless until they rest in you. We are a pilgrim people because we have hearts that will never rest; never be satisfied; never be complete until we find the God who is at the core of all we desire and seek through this life. And so we journey on, in our search. The problem is, most of us have forgotten who we are, a pilgrim people, or at the very least, defined “pilgrims” to be those who journey far, to offer their prayers in “traditionally” holy places. True, some of the largest assemblies of people around the world are indeed those of pilgrims. But what makes them “pilgrims” has very little to do with the destination of their journey or how far they travel from home but has all to do with that which they seek. Throughout the scriptures, God seems incessantly trying to remind his people of their pilgrim hearts and to call them back to the path that leads them home.
