On 14th March 2009, inmates of Collegio San Paolo undertook a pilgrimage to Basilica San Paolo fouri le Mura to mark the year of St. Paul, whose college is named after this great apostle. Definitely it is a spiritual journey, a sort of home coming or going as you like it. Accordingly, considerable quality time was given in preparation for this day. A triddum was observed and beautifully animated by different resource persons. The journey began at 7.30 in the morning from Collegio san Paolo. We took a moment of recollection at Monastery Santa Chiara where the sisters helped us to reflect and render a short spiritual exaltation. We moved on to the next station for a short pause at Parrocchia di San Damaso. Here again the priest animated a brief meditation. From here we proceeded for our final destination, Basilica San Paolo Fouri le Mura (a distance of 7km in all). At the Basilica, a solemn Eucharistic Celebration was solemnized and officiated by a Benedictine Abbot. By two in the afternoon all good is done and we are home at San Paolo. What can be concluded is true and a timely spiritual journey replenishes our interior life. We got to identify our identity from time to time. Unless we identify ourselves…? NB: Take a tour of the ‘home coming’ in slides.
