Pilgrim's Prayer - Lord, I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. As this pilgrimage concludes, I say with the psalmist, "I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord!'" My feet are standing within your gates. This journey has been a foretaste of the joy of arriving in Your eternal kingdom. Thank you for the path, for Your presence, and for the promise of a final destination where all pilgrimages cease in the joy of seeing You face to face. Amen.
