Episode Details

Fr. Peter takes us on a rich journey through the history and spirituality of pilgrimage, from the dangers faced by medieval pilgrims to the story of Blessed Ortolana of Assisi, whose pilgrimage to Monte Sant’Angelo preceded her giving birth to St. Clare. Joining him is Gwen Wiseman, an English-speaking guide based in Assisi, who offers a practical and spiritually rich tour of the city. From the Cathedral of San Rufino and the Basilica of St. Clare, to the tomb of Carlo Acutis and the heart of the Jubilee pilgrimage: the Basilica of St. Francis, where the saint’s relics are on public veneration for the first time in 800 years. A wonderful listen for anyone considering a Lenten (or post-Lenten!) pilgrimage to Assisi this year.
