October 2: The Feast of the Pilgrim (The Way of the Pilgrim)

Today we celebrate at St. Simeon Skete, the Feast Day of the pilgrim

from the book

The Way of the Pilgrim - R.M. French translation

This book has become a manual for many that practice the Jesus Prayer.

Carried in his knapsack with his prayer beads, Seraphim's well-read hardback copy of the book has been leather covered to secure it for longevity.

Every page is covered in handwritten notes, thoughts and references which highlights the tremendous value in this special book.

If you haven't read the book, today would be the perfect day to pick up a copy, its also available electronically for your kindle and iPad but nothing beats a handheld copy to carry with you, to make notes and study.

Collect for the Feast of the Pilgrim.

May we also pray the path we walk and walk the path we pray.
