The Rule of Pilgrims
"St. Francis used to say that the rule of pilgrims is this: to take shelter under someone else's roof, to thirst after your homeland, and to make your way in peace." --St. Bonaventure, Major Life, 7:2
A pilgrim is a person on a journey to a holy place. In a sense we are all pilgrims here on earth. Our journey is to return to God--He is our homeland. Earth does not belong to us, we are merely taking shelter here. Go in peace.
