Pilgrim to Apostle

WYD SYD Pilgrim to Apostle

“Pilgrim” – part of the ‘lingo

Pilgrimage is in itself a journey to God

Some of the most unexpected things become the most powerfully transformative moments

Preparation is more than planning – it is the why

“The way of the pilgrim is in a sense, the same through the ages. Drawn by the Spirit to seek a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, the pilgrim first leaves home and all that entails: a drastic act!”

How do church and pilgrimage fit together?

Church as pilgrim people is always on a purposeful journey

All sorts of challenges

Experiences of God in the present

Christ as Pilgrim

Experience God’s grace in the Eucharist

We are a part of the Body of Christ

Witnessing to the God News of Jesus Christ

We are sent out

“It’s not over until we’re all home.”

Our faith journey requires us to be ever pilgrims.

Living water transforms

Experience of God can so change us..

“It was unexpected. It only took a moment.”

The power and the enduring impact of the journey

It may be over, but the biggest part of the journey

is just beginning

What lies ahead…

Exciting possibilities

Seeking God in everyone, in everything..

All the time!

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind…

You shall love your neighbour as yourself.

It’s not, “What do we do now?”It’s, “Who do I become now?

What do we use, when do we use it, who do we use it with, where will we do it?

Constantly

reminding of

the WHY’S

Witnessing to the enduring love of God in Jesus Christ…

In all ways, every day.
