Peregrinatio-will we go?

How brave do we have to be to say yes and go. We may not be called, as some have been, to wander from our physical home. We may not be those who get in the boat without tiller or oars and sail away where the winds blow, where the God of the Seas takes us. We may not be those whose steps lead away from our families and our beloved ones, but we may be called to wander to a home we have never seen in the midst of the world we already see and know.

Can we wander with "Christ before us, Christ beside us, Christ to our right and our left. Christ under and over us, Christ all around us" and still walk the paths we walk every day?

Can we wander to find the God of Life if we do not go with him? How do we find the place of our  resurrection if we don't wander off the path we have been walking, all unseeing and unseen?

How do we become peregrinatio, white martyrs who leave all for the blessing of finding the place of our resurrection ... and do we want to?

Bless to me, O God, 
the earth beneath my foot.
Bless to me, O God,
The path whereon I go


I on Thy path O God,

Thou O God in my steps.
