Recommended: The Role of Pilgrimage in the Life of a Christian

This year has been truly a blessing for me because of what I have grown up on and the people I have met. A high point was the pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Through this experience, I was able to know several places that have a connection with Sacred Scriptures and that are going to be very useful in my own personal relationship with the Lord and in my homilies. The Pilgrimage was also beneficial for my relationships. During those days, I could get closer to some classmates and deepen my friendships. The human experience of living every day with my classmates was a huge opportunity to know them and understand them. It was also the opportunity for me to show my leadership skills as the coordinator of the photography team, and also by working together with a classmate in making a video about the whole pilgrimage. …show more content…

Each place that we visited is in my memory and I have experienced great consolation, peace, and joy at reading and listening to the readings at Mass because they bring to my memory the places themselves, but also the experiences that I and my classmates had over there. In addition, the experience of had been at those places, enhance my personal prayer and allow me to understand more the Biblical world, so I can help others understand it too. In terms of the academic program, this year has been beneficial too. I was able to do my STB exam. Also, several of the classes were very interesting. For instance, history, John, Prophets, and Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue. Each one the classes helped me understand more what I am doing in the seminary, to prepare myself for the future ministry, and to apply all what I learn in classes to the concrete world of the parishioners that I am going to ministry as a

    Rituals are held as a very important part of any society, including ours. They go back to ancient times or can be as simple as maintaining one’s hygiene. Non-western societies have rituals that may seem very foreign to us, but they have been engrained in their communities and are essential to their social structure. This interpretation will focus on the Great Pilgrimage, a ritual performed by Quechuan communities. We will be looking specifically at a community in the area of Sonqo.

  • The Pilgrims and the Pilgrim Mystique

    5427 Words  | 11 Pages

    [1] At the conclusion of the film Plymouth Adventure, the Pilgrims, physically and mentally, have withstood the rigors of persecution in their homeland, of the long and difficult voyage, and of their first year in the wild, desolate New World. Ultimately, this paradigm becomes the emblem of the founding of our nation and the beginning of a whole panorama of different versions each time the story is retold--some of them factual and some of them mythical. The purpose of this essay is to: 1) survey the scope of the Pilgrim mystique; 2) sort myth from fact in the story; 3) pinpoint the sources of the information we have about these settlers; 4) establish why this group was chosen rather than any of a myriad of settlers who came to the New World, both before and after the Pilgrims; and 5) finally, and most importantly, determine whether the facts about the Pilgrims have been misrepresented, distorted, or simply omitted in the film based on Gebler's book, The Plymouth Adventure: A Chronicle Novel of the Voyage of the Mayflower, and the two most reliable accounts we have of the Pilgrims' story, William Bradford's Of Plimoth Plantation and Mourt's Relation: A Journal of the Pilgrims at Plymouth.

  • The Church in the Postmodern World

    1619 Words  | 4 Pages

    I must say that I learned a lot from this class both through the readings and through class discussion. I really, honestly do not have anything that I starkly disagreed with in either. I found it all to be very valuable information for me and this class was extremely helpful in assisting me to better understand the current paradigm shift the church is going through. There are three take-a-ways in particular that helped me to better understand the post modern shift in the church and my role as a minister in this changing paradigm. The first take-a-way is the understanding that there is a shift occurring towards focusing more on the congregational life of the church with more attention on the laity and its formation. Second, is how to plan, as a church and as pastors, to adjust to this shift towards congregational life and how to be better prepared as a postmodern church to be relevant in this changing time. Lastly, I received a better way of explaining the meaning of what truth is in this post modern time.

  • The Pilgrim's Progress

    938 Words  | 2 Pages

    The author of The Pilgrim's Progress is well described by Coleridge's remark: "His piety was baffled by his genius; and Bunyan the dreamer overcame the Bunyan of the conventicle." This remark points out the difficulty that Bunyan faces when he attempts to write a religious piece of work in the style of allegory. The Pilgrim's Progress is "pious" because it is a piece written in dedication to God. It contains important religious teachings -- what a good Christian should do and what he should not do. What Coleridge means by Bunyan's "genius" is basically the story itself. The story is so well written that people become so interested in the story and forget the whole spiritual truth behind and this worry Bunyan. Coleridge also indicates in his remarks, the tension between "piety" and "dreaming". "Dreaming", as we know is unreal, and it can hardly be connected with "piety". But Bunyan, through his "genius", not only managed to bring these two things together, but in way that would be satisfiable to all.
