Where Would You Journey To?

The Church Imaged As Pilgrim People.

A Pilgrim is someone who journeys to a spiritual place
for finding out more about your religion. They would
normally pilgrim to a Holy Place to pray, have time
with God to places like St Patrick's Cathedral, Bethlehem,
so they can be in the place where Jesus was born or to
draw themselves closer to God. We all journey to Church,
which is another way of drawing ourselves to God.

There are many people who go on a pilgrimage
because they want to find out more about their
religion or to check out the importance of Jesus'
life. The place they choose to go might be the The
National Shrine of Divine Mercy or The Church of
The Beatitude. Examples of Holy Places are The
Cathedral, Jerusalem, or to The places where Jesus
walked so we know if we feel the same way Christ felt.

"We are not perfect but are journeying towards the
fullness of life in God's Kingdom". When our life
comes to an end, it is time for us to enter God's Kingdom, heaven.

If I was to go on a pilgrimage, I would want to
journey to St Peter's Basilica because it is
another Holy Place and it is where the Pope
Lives. The reason why I want to visit the Pope
is because his quotes are helpful and it makes
me believe more and draw myself closer to God.
