Enter into the lives of Christianity’s most beloved
mystics, Francis and Clare, by
traveling to the world of Assisi, Italy. This immersion experience will
offer ample
time for reflection as well as conversation with other faith seekers. The
eight-day
pilgrimage includes lecture and discussion at places of significant impact
to
Francis, including the town of Perugia where he was imprisoned for a year
after
being captured in war, the townsquare of Assisi where he dramatically stripped
himself of his clothing to “nakedly follow the naked Christ,”
the church of San
Damiano where he heard God’s invitation to “rebuild the church,”
and an ascent
to La Verna where his imitation of Christ culminated in the experience of
the
stigmata. The Franciscan legacy of voluntary poverty, solidarity with the
suffering
Christ, and apostolic teaching by word and example comes alive as we explore
the
implications of Franciscan insights and values to today’s world.
