The fatigue of the journey, the variety of landscapes, their encounter with peoples of other nationalities \u2013 all of this opens their heart to what is the deepest and most common bond that unites us as human beings: we are in quest, we need truth and beauty, we need an experience of grace, charity, peace, forgiveness and redemption.
