Watching a Matthew Kelly Lent video prompted the question: “Are you a pilgrim or tourist?”   What’s the difference you ask? Well, to paraphrase: pilgrims look for God in everything while tourists rush through and look for an immediate satisfaction or frustration without questioning why something is happening or not happening.

A pilgrim always looks for God’s signs, clues and direction. They look for Him to lead us, to disclose His will to us and show us what He wants from us or for us.  Pilgrims are patient while they inquire “What is God trying to say to us?

Our journey is towards being with God forever and in eternity.  Earth is our temporary home, we are passing through – quickly. So Matthew asks: “Are we prepared to live with God forever?”  Have you been listening?
