The Place We Call Home: Spiritual Pilgrimage As a Path to God

by Murray Bodo

With over twenty-five years of experience in making and leading spiritual pilgrimages, Fr. Murray Bodo is the perfect guide to this ancient Christian tradition. Here, Fr. Murray leads us to traditional pilgrim sites such as Rome and Assisi, but also on journeys of memory—back to childhood, and to the churches and landscapes of our past. Ultimately, we find that spiritual pilgrimage not only enriches our lives, but transforms us into the people that we are called to become.

About the author

"Those are the two magnetic poles of my life: books and the Franciscan Priesthood. The glue that holds them together is Saint Francis of Assisi himself. From the time I was thirteen years old and read Sophie Jewett's God's Troubadour, The Story of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Francis has been a major inspiration of my life. I became a Franciscan in 1955; I've written about him, prayed for his intercession, studied him, taught his life and spirituality and for the last 34 years led pilgrimages to Assisi " - Murray Bodo
