Pilgrimage to the Basilica - Walking with our Lady

Walking with our Lady to her Abode - Pilgrimage to the Basilica of our Lady of Good Health: The Novitiate was into the mood of recollection on the 6th of September when the novices took to their feet early at the start of the day and headed to the Basilica for the pilgrimage. It was a unique experience to walk to the shrine where the faithful of all religions flock. The pilgrimage was made in silence together with praying the Rosary. It helped us prepare for the feast of the birth of our blessed Mother Mary. As we let the faith of the simple people touch and influence us, we experienced a renewal and strengthening of our personal faith in the Lord.
“Like pilgrims to the appointed place we tend; the world’s an inn, and death the journey's end.” - John Dryden
