Faith Formation

Pilgrimage

In the beginning,

From the beginning
It becomes very clear
this is not a journey
we take on our own:
Someone brought or carried us,
Someone soaked us
( Gasping, cold, wet! )
We welcome you
--someone said
into the LORD's family.
From the beginning
-- one LORD, one faith, one baptism --

From the beginning
It was made very clear
This is not a race
but a pilgrimage,
not a biathlon
but a cropwalk,
Hand clasping hand.

From the beginning
It becomes very clear
this is not a journey
we take
alone
but a journey
we take
all one.
