Synopsis

A pilgrim journeys to discover the Truth. Sometimes it means traveling to a different country or culture to see and listen to the stories of the people and places. At other times, it is struggling to learn a new language or read a difficult book to enlighten the mind and, hopefully, the eager heart. Some pilgrims journey to repent for sins of commission and omission. The journey encourages their need to change and the openness to decide how they might act differently in the future. This memoir tells stories of how one priest journeyed through his life to discover the Truth of God's love and tender mercy in good times and in bad times. He believes that stories are often the best way to teach any kind of truth. The author has traveled a great deal with a special love for the Holy Land, Assisi, and the rich culture of Celtic Ireland. Many years of travel, extensive reading, experiences as a parish priest, and a college professor have enriched his life. He now lives in an independent living facility where he continues to teach, minister, and search for Truth.
