DAILY SCRIPTURE READINGS (DSR) 📚 GROUP, Wed May 22nd 2024 ... Wednesday of the Seventh Week in Ordinary Time, Year B....Catholic Pilgrimage
SPIRITUAL AND PRACTICAL GUIDE TO KIBEHO PILGRIMAGE
Pilgrimages are my favorite spiritual practices. Whether it’s a trip to Namugongo shrine or Kibeho (https://youtu.be/UJYDFmHcztY?feature=shared), the land elected by our Blessed Virgin Mary, I absolutely adore them. There’s just something about engaging in a purely tangible Catholic experience that appeals to me.
Some version of pilgrimage exists in most religions. I believe this is because we are hardwired to view faith as a journey, making travel a natural companion to at least some form of our religious expression. In the Catholic Faith, we have the added example of Christ and Our Lady. Immediately after the Annunciation, the Blessed Virgin left to visit her cousin Elizabeth. In Luke 2, Mary and Joseph brought the child Jesus to Jerusalem. I’d like to go on, but this would be a very long post if I mentioned every pilgrimage in the Bible. Trust me. There are loads.
On top of that, we also have examples throughout Church history of saints making pilgrimages. St. Augustine wrote a whole piece on pilgrimage in "The City of God", but the idea gained popularity in the Middle Ages, as anyone who has read Chaucer’s "Canterbury Tales Will Know".
(And a quick side note: After the dissolution of the monasteries in England in the 1500s, the newly created Anglican church condemned pilgrimages for being “too Catholic“, which strikes me as a great reason to endorse them.)
Pilgrimages are still happening today. We have our own sites here in Namugongo-Uganda and in Kibeho, Rwanda. Many more are scattered around the world. Now that you and i are going to Kibeho for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, I ask that we do the following:
TAKE INTENTIONS WITH YOU
Just as we offer Rosaries and Masses for others’ intentions, we can offer our pilgrimages. In fact, during the Middle Ages, Catholics used to go on pilgrimage to bring about change of some kind and as an act of penance. Today, it’s common for pilgrims to post onto their social media accounts something like “I’m going on pilgrimage to Kibeho tomorrow. How can I pray for you while I’m there?”
The idea is that you either write down the intentions in a notebook or take time each day of your pilgrimage to pray for all or part of the people on your list. Gathering these intentions and beginning to pray for them has the added bonus of helping you to prepare for your trip.
LEARN ABOUT SAINTS YOU MIGHT BE NEAR
Many pilgrimages involve visits to relics, and it’s more interesting to venerate a relic when you know about the saint it belongs to. In fact, the whole point of the relic is to provide a tangible connection to that saint. So do some research! We make stopovers at Kitovu, Masaka or Ruhango-Rwanda. Know something about Msgr Ngobya, Sr Amedeo or Genocide at Ruhango so when you are there, you know how to say your prayers and intentions appropriately. Also use Church approved prayers at these stops that have been compiled for you in our Kibeho Pilgrimage Booklet.
This also works well on regular vacations to new places.
MAKE TIME FOR YOUR PREFERRED MEANS OF PRAYER
A pilgrimage is an allegory for our journey to heaven. That means we should invite heaven into it. If you’re doing a planned pilgrimage, there will likely be many religious experiences built into it such as praying through the Seven Sorrows at Kibeho, bathing in the waters at Lourdes or using water from Martyrs Lake, Namugongo.
You should still make time for the ways that you, personally, are drawn to pray, as much as your accommodations will allow. Spend a transnight at Kibeho Apparitions Chapel, do Adoration in Ruhango, pray Divine Mercy at Cana-Nyarushiishi, remember your family at the Nativity Monument, or make time to meditate on Scripture. For others, it can mean journaling, praise and worship, spiritual reading—whatever works for you.
And regardless of all this, make sure to make time for the sacraments! Fortunately for our Kibeho pilgrimage, we have a priest as a Spiritual Director so Confessions and Mass are always good provisions. A pilgrimage novena is also on the cards as part of our preparation.
Again, all these are palpably and beautifully laid out in our Pilgrimage Prayer Booklet.
BE FLEXIBLE
But not all is rosy with pilgrimage. Some things will go wrong. Transport, meals, accommodation may disappoint one way or other. We’ve had our bus get lost inside Rwanda just hours to Assumption Mass. Once, it rained on us the entire chilly early morning at the border. Some pilgrims had to share beds when our lodging was oversubscribed. Name a problem, it has happened on a pilgrimage. But that’s OK.
Pilgrimages are a good thing, but you don’t always feel like they’re a good thing. If you’re completely caught up in frustration over things not going as planned, then you are guaranteed not to notice and receive the graces. Let's look at pilgrimage as a fast for our faith; mortification that Mother Mary says is indispensable if her children are to go to heaven!
But regardless of the pain, pilgrimage winds up being a beautiful, prayerful experience. To date, my journeys of prayer to Kibeho are one of my happiest travel memories because they were showered in grace.
REMEMBER: GOD HAS A REASON FOR YOUR PILGRIMAGE
Your pilgrimage may be rough and you may cry owing to illness, family and personal hurts, hateful people, poverty, joblessness, and even miscommunications. But in the end, to the extent you persevere believing in Jesus Christ, you'll still be glad you went.
We have seen holy places that energized our Church for millennia. We have offered our sufferings for others on trips. But most importantly, Jesus had it rough (to put it mildly) during his time on earth. I might not have been happy at the end of my pilgrimage, but I knew him a little better, which equipped me to love him better. I call that a success.
No one gets to go on a pilgrimage by accident, or completely by their own design. I had to keep reminding myself of that fact. You don’t get to go because you’re super holy, or rich, or good at Church mobilization, or any other reason. You go on a pilgrimage because he has something to show you. It’s a gift. And every single pilgrimage comes with special and abundant gifts.
May God bless you on this pilgrimage to Kibeho, Rwanda. May Mother Mary accompany you wherever you may go!

In Gedenken an meine Mutter
Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass es so schmerzt, wenn der Mensch von einem geht, der einen geboren und das gesamte Leben begleitet hat. Zumindest nach dem Tod konnte ich sie noch in die Nähe eines meiner geliebten Kinder bringen.
Meine häufige Ignoranz straft mich im Nachhinein mit Schmerz, jedoch habe ich den letzten, beschwerlichen Weg noch Monate mit ihr begleitet.
Trotz unseres nicht einfachen Lebens vermisse ich Dich und danke Dir dafür, dass Du auch einen guten Teil in mir erschaffen hast.
Dank an Bestattungen Nickel, meine Freunde und das JunkYard für die Hilfe in der schweren Zeit.
A very big thank you to Mr. Steve Harris of Iron Maiden for signing her urn. It means a lot to me and the whole family to send her to heavy metal afterlife.

Metal Party@SuS Vereinsheim Hörde, 15.+16.12.2023
Wie gewöhnlich war das Event bereits frühzeitig ausverkauft und eine gelungene Party mit vier Bands garantiert. Mit den Organisatoren Andi und Zimbo von Metal Tremonia e.V. und unserem Schriftführer Adrian sowie den ersten Gästen ging's dann auch am ersten Tag direkt los mit der Mission "Saufen, bis die Kotze bitter schmeckt!" Gut angetüddelt konnte man dann dem zweiten Tag entgegen gehen, an dem Owerstolz den Abend mit ihrem rotzigen Deutschrock/Punk eröffneten. Hierzu grölten die Fans in dem vollen, stickigen Raum zu "Alles von vorne" mit und einer forderte lautstark "Schutzmann". Anger habe ich vor 30 Jahren zuerst gesehen und habe 2004 zuletzt sogar mit ihnen Danzigs "Mother" auf der Bühne gerockt. Der Thrash ist härter und besser geworden. Viel Power, die da rüberkommt und ich musste fast wieder eine zusätzliche Herzpille einwerfen. Spätestens jetzt war man bereit für Leifs Nachfolgecombo zu Dew-Scented, die viele schon auf dem diesjährigen Deathfest sehen konnten, Phantom Corporation. Haben mittlerweile zwei Alben und präsentierten gelungenen Thrash. Witzig war, einen weiteren, alten Bekannten im Line-up zu sehen: Den Gitarrenlehrer meines Gitarristen Christoph Roth bei Transnight, der ja auch bei Exumer spielt. Den Headliner machte dann die Coverband Morty Pilot aus Oldenburg. Selten so gut nachgespielte Stücke gehört (u.a. Slayer). Bei fast jeder Band wurde jedoch der Schlagzeuger immer schneller, da die da hinten wohl nichts gehört haben. Egal, live ohne Playback und es war wieder ein gelungenes Fest! Man munkelt, dass im nächsten Jahr vielleicht Nine ∞ One dabei sind...
