Pilgrims not a Tourist
In our travel package, we all receive a booklet about our itinerary, brief history of places, travel info, prayers, hymns and most importantly a guide or commandments as pilgrim.
This preamble is actually hilarious.
The organizer knows when to invite us to read this list especially after a week of travelling. That’s the time we are starting to feel heated due to lack of sleep, high expectations or just plain cranky.
We all read this without laughing, as prayerfully as possible. Are you kidding? Have you ever tried to suppress your laugh and it comes out of your nose?
So here are some clips on prayer guide:
Response: Lord, May I Remember that I am a Pilgrim and not a Tourist.
If any delays should occur or changes take place prior to any departures and I became anxious: Response.
If I do not get the seat of my choice on the plane and the bus: Response.
If some things do not happen on schedule as per itinerary: Response.
If my meals, bed and washroom in a foreign country are not to my liking: Response.
If a person in front of me buys the last item I really wanted: Response.
Travelers’ Commandments:
Thou shalt not expect to find things as thou hast them at home, for thou hast left thy home to find things differently.
Thou shalt not let the other pilgrims get on thy nerves for thou art paying out good money to have a good time.
Remember thy passport so that thou know where it is always, for a man without a passport is a man without a country.
Thou shalt when in Rome do somewhat as the Romans do. If in difficulty, thou shalt use thy Canadian sense and friendliness.
Remember thou are a guest in every land and she that treats her host with respect shall be treated as an honoured guest.
As pilgrim, I prefer to soak in everything with my mind’s eyes and soul in places we traversed. Here are a very few pictures I captured.
