Pilgrimage

Today was the Midland Pilgrimage day.

I only decided to go because I sprained my ankle. Well, if this is the calling from God, He really made a very good choice to call me. :p I was going with a depressing heart. I still thought too much about the things I worried from the night before. However, I let it go, let it out, thought about it again, made some prayers, and I feel much better right now. Prayers heal. Again, the more I read the Prayer of St Francis of Assisi, the more I thought that I was thinking a little too much, or this wasn't the right way of thinking. I was creating problems for myself.

There was some papers for people to write their prayers. I made three prayers today, for three different people, and burned two candles. Prayers were for thoumber, nomis and myself. Candles were for the former two.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
