message for pilgrim-registrants from the Director, Pilgrimage 2024

Promemoria

TO: Pilgrim-registrants – Pilgrimage 2024 A.D.

FROM: Greg Lloyd, Director – Pilgrimage for Restoration

 

A pilgrim is one who prays on The Way to the destination of his prayers.

After registering, what are the first steps of pilgrimage to prepare well for & make the best of the spiritual journey?

  1.   First & foremost, our Chaplains ask each pilgrim & brigade to offer daily the three-line prayer composed by St. Nicholas of Flüe. Find this easy-to-memorize prayer on this page of the Pilgrimage blog.

    2.  

  2.   To keep abreast of developments and messages to pilgrims, and for helpful practical tips — about things like packing, transportation, camping/lodgings, gear, food, etc. — subscribe to the Pilgrimage blog. http://pilgrimage-for-restoration.org/blog/

    3.  

  3.   You can also join the Pilgrimage’s Facebook group or the FB page.

    4.  

  4.   Looking for a ride to pilgrimage? Form a car-pool — or make other plans with fellow-pilgrims for brigade life, camps, you name it.   After you request the shuttle, to check-in, you can then also ask for help to arrange a ride from home, to car-pool to Auriesville.

    5.  

  5.   Would you like your family to learn or practice some of the many songs sung on pilgrimage? Click here to request a CD or cassette of the Pilgrimage’s very own Songs of Pilgrimage or the Pilgrims’ Handbook of songs & prayers. Or paste the URL into your browser. http://national-coalition.org/w/songs-of-pilgrimage-order-form

Note: The documentary video is again out of stock this season.

Listening while you walk (to get your ‘souls’ in shape) or work around the house is a great way to prepare the days of grace.

Blessed pilgrimage!

message for pilgrim-registrants from the Chief of Brigadiers, Pilgrimage 2024

Promemoria

TO: Pilgrim-registrants – Pilgrimage 2024 A.D.

FROM: Reuben J. DeMaster – Vice-Director for Brigade Life

 

Congratulations on taking a first step of pilgrimage, this year back again to the Adirondacks and Auriesville.

The second step is much like every other step of pilgrimage: to pray with the other pilgrim-registrants also preparing to honor Our Blessed Lady at her shrine. Indeed, prayer & penance is the beginning and end — the very reason — of the pilgrimage. The way of a pilgrim is the habit of unceasing prayer. I. Thessalonians v, 17

That’s why the Pilgrimage Chaplains ask each pilgrim to pray daily, beginning today, the three-line prayer composed by St. Nicholas of Flüe. Find it on this page of the Pilgrimage blog.

Find the pilgrims’ three-line prayer on the blog at http://pilgrimage-for-restoration.org/blog/?p=2373

“He who sings well, prays twice.” (Attributed to St. Augustine of Hippo.) Why not multiply your praying power by learning or practicing some of the many songs sung on pilgrimage?

Listening while you walk (to get your ‘souls’ in shape) or while putzing around the house is a great way to prepare the days of grace.

Find the Pilgrimage media here. Request your own copy of the Songs of Pilgrimage CD or the Pilgrims’ Handbook of prayers.

NOTE: the DVD video documentary is still out of stock, again, this season.

    Please let me hear from you if you await your brigade assignment, or if you have any questions about brigade-life. Please ask your fellow-brigadesmen or women to do the same. Click here to e-mail me.

Learn about brigade life on this page.

Godspeed!

NOTE WELL

Veterans know there is never a better time than now to commence preparations. And there never seems to be enough time, no matter how long in advance one registers.

Please therefore contact your brigadier as soon as possible to get started. If you don’t know or cannot reach him or her, drop me an e-mail.

Some of the brigades already have blogs. If yours doesn’t, please encourage your brigadier to start one. You, he or she can contact me for ideas.

steps after completing registration – 2024

Congratulations for completing registration for the 28th annual Pilgrimage for Restoration, Friday-Sunday, 29 September – October 1, 2023 A.D.

Step-off this may seem far off, but it always comes sooner than you think, and there is rarely enough time to prepare. In fact, pilgrimage has already begun, certainly for those praying, and “now is the acceptable time” to prepare with fellow pilgrims.

Please click on the following hyperlinks for step-by-step guidance to prepare, in numeric order, for the days of pilgrimage.

  1. The Chaplain asks each pilgrim and brigade to offer daily the three-line prayer composed by St. Nicholas of Flüe. Download it from this page of the Pilgrimage blog.
