Strength for the Journey

We are living amid a plague, Covid-19. We shelter in

place, attempting to flatten the curve of infection. As

Catholics, we yearn for the day that we can gather,

pray, and sing as a Eucharistic people. In the meantime,

we are called to pray. As you walk the downtown area,

consider using these short pilgrimages as a guide for

praying the rosary. Each decade commemorates places

of worship, centers of first responders, and other

necessities. You can substitute the sites according to

your wishes. Either way, take your time, greet others, as

Jesus would do daily. At the end of your pilgrimage, pray

the following

We plead to you, Our Lady of Mercy, to

intercede for those who are ill, those who

have died, those who have no faith, and

possibly no hope. Help us find the strength to

be Joyful Disciples in the Holy Name of Jesus,

this day, and all days. AMEN.
