    Preparing for Your Pilgrimage. A Guide to Soul, Body, and Pack

    Preparing our soul, body, and pack for pilgrimage is crucial for a meaningful and successful pilgrimage. By improving our prayer routine, collecting prayer intentions, and practicing sacrifice, we can strengthen our spiritual preparation. Learning about the places we will visit and preparing our body through a walking plan and proper footwear can help us physically endure the trip. It is also important to pack light, bringing only the essentials and avoiding items we cannot afford to lose, and to arrange our phone data plan in advance. By leaving work behind and setting up an out-of-office message, we can maintain our focus on the pilgrimage. Overall, by preparing ourselves holistically, we can fully embrace the journey and experience the transformative power of pilgrimage.

    Sacred Heart Basilica of Montmartre

    Devotion to the Sacred Heart helps us return Jesus's love with gratitude and glory. The symbol of the Sacred Heart has been popular since the 11th century, and St. Margaret Mary's visions in 1673 further spread the devotion. The Sacred Heart Basilica in Paris, built as an expiatory church, is a testament to this devotion. Its main artwork, "The Triumph of the Sacred Heart of Jesus," is one of the largest mosaics in the world and depicts scenes of homage to the Sacred Heart.

    Apparitions & Secret of Fatima

    Fatima, a small town in Portugal, became a significant pilgrimage site after the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in 1917 to three shepherd children. Mary's messages were simple, namely, pray the Rosary daily and make reparation for sinners. The "secret of Fatima" revealed three parts, including a vision of hell, devotion to Mary's Immaculate Heart, and the persecution of Christians. Pope John Paul II consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1984, fulfilling Mary's wish. The events described in the third part of the secret may have seemed to belong to the past, but Mary's call to conversion and penance is still relevant today.
