Pilgrimage to St Michael's Mount

The vision is to walk from St Paul's Cathedral to St Michael's Mount and to establish a Pilgrim's Way, similar to the Camino in Spain. This refers not only to a route on a map, but also to a Way of Life, a rule of life for those on pilgrimage.

Pilgrimage is a way of praying and interceding for the things that we pass, the people we meet, even the nation we walk through. It is also a spiritual discipline - a soul-training exercise, that works the grace of God into our lives so that we better embody a Christ-like character.

The Post-Communion Prayer for the Tenth Sunday After Trinity
God of our pilgrimage, you have willed that the gate of mercy should stand open for those who trust in you: look upon us with your favour that we who follow the path of your will may never wander from the way of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
