Brilliantly spoken, and true

Modernity, as we have seen, can tolerate religion as long as it is safely sequestered in the privacy of one’s conscience or practiced behind closed doors. What challenges modernity is a religion that shows up. A secularized culture wants us to believe that processions and pilgrimages are somehow inappropriate, sectarian, trouble-making. I think we should make a little trouble….

[Pilgrimages] are embodied ways of centering our lives on Jesus Christ, all profoundly non-dualist means of walking the path of holiness.
