While on pilgrimage we've noticed where, when, and in whom we have "seen" Jesus. We have listened for "invitations" to serve and have responded to them. We have watched for the beauty, dignity, and worth in people, places, and things and have reflected the same beauty, dignity, and worth back to those people, places, and things.  This pilgrimage ends.
