Prayers & Poems for the Journey

With you across the miles today

Dear friends,

As you read this today, I’m on pilgrimage in France.

I haven’t taken a single week off from writing this newsletter since I switched to a weekly format in June 2021. So I’m going to give myself a sacred pause and not write an essay in advance of the pilgrimage.

I trust you will understand.

Lest I leave you empty-handed, I thought you might like to pray with the prayers and poems I’m taking with me.

I’m planning to travel light. Just a small journal, a daily prayer companion, and these prayers and poems. There’s a call to radical change, simplicity, and trust for me right now, although I cannot say where God will lead.

I trust you understand that, too.

Please pray for our pilgrims this week. Please know I’m praying for you, too.

Peace,

Laura
