A Pilgrim

Folks,

Greetings of Peace!

In 1949 Massignon wrote, "Our Faith is essentially a living faith, and our life is the quality of the pilgrim who walks. Towards what is this pilgrim moving? He is going toward a Holy Place prefigured in the Beatitudes, he exiles himself from himself, which is the meaning of faith. We exile ourselves from the sweetness of daily life, from our ordinary ease, in order to find, one more time, a homeland that is not at all a negation of our original homeland, but that is transcendent... We are en route between these two points, the one that we leave and the arrival at the transcendent homeland, and Faith is our lifeline.I would like everyone to understand that the interference of transcendent action into the empirical facts of the most humble human life, by scrutinizing the details within his ability, predisposes everyone through the loving arbitration of divine transcendence for an unimaginable Meeting".
