Fratello, sorella, fatti pellegrino della mia casa terrena, ma cammina verso la casa di Dio che è in te, verso la Sua casa, il paradiso.
Alzati e cammina.
Ti accompagno con la testimonianza della mia vita, sostegno i tuoi passi con la preghiera.
Cammina. Ti aspetto. Dio ti benedica.
San Francesco, tuo fratello.
Brother, sister, become a pilgrim to my earthly home, but walk toward the home of the God within you, His home, paradise.
Get up and walk.
I will be with you with the testimony of my life, I will support your steps with my prayers.
Walk. I'll be waiting for you. God bless you.
Saint Francis, your brother.
- Engraved in stone beside the childhood home of Saint Francis in Assisi
Arriving at your destination on a pilgrimage, you always experience mixed emotions. Relief that it is over. Satisfaction at having made it all the way. Anticipation of going home to see your loved ones and put your feet up to relax.
But already you begin to feel homesick, to long to be on the Way once again, rising at dawn to walk to a new destination every day!
