Pictures from the Pilgrimage over Whitsun.
From Rorate Cæli
By Fr Kevin M Cusick
Young scouts and leaders filled the church of Saint Sulpice for high Mass early Saturday morning May 27th to begin the three day event. The overflow crowd surrounding the church for the Mass is partly visible in next photo below.
Solemn High Mass for Pentecost Sunday in a natural arena to accommodate the thousands who worshipped.
A tangible sign of pilgrim’s progress: we’ve advanced 56k distance from Paris en route to our goal of Chartres cathedral.
Like the New Jerusalem the spires point heavenward speaking ever of the goal of every pilgrim from here to eternity in the life of faith.
Life is a pilgrimage. Each day’s steps bring us closer to our goal when taken in faith for such always lead to God.
Archbishop Gullickson offers prayers of Thanksgiving in the sacristy after solemn High Mass of Whit Monday which concluded the pilgrimage at Chartres.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
