Pilgrimage: it’s all about prayer

Christ Pancrator JerusalemThe Christian’s life on pilgrimage does not end until death. And even then, there is an eternity of discovery & delight to expect in the presence of the Supremely Good & Almighty God.

To keep us on The Way, the Pilgrimage Chaplain, Canon Hellmann, has asked each of us to recite with devotion each day the sublime prayer of St. Nicholas of Flüe, and in that way to commit it to memory:

My Lord and my God,
take from me whatever keeps me from Thee.

My Lord and my God,
grant me whatever brings me to Thee.

My Lord and my God,
take my self, to live wholly in Thee.

St. Nicholas of Flüe, 1447-1487
