As every pilgrim has surely noticed … just a minute into step-off … the Pilgrimage is a prayerful, musical event.Download the pilgrims’ daily prayer, composed by St. Nicholas of Flüe
“Pray without ceasing.” It’s never too early to join fellow pilgrims in prayer. To make it easier to remember and recite the short prayer each day, every pilgrim is asked to print it out, post it to the refrigerator in the kitchen, leave it at one’s night table next to the bed, tape it to the mirror in the bathroom … Ok, you get the point.
