The Pilgrimage to Chartres

I wish I could make the pilgrimage to Chartres. It's a 70 mile three-day walk from Notre Dame in Paris to Chartres Cathedral. At my age I think a virtual pilgrimage is as close as I'll ever come. I'm just not up for a 70-mile hike. Five miles a day for three days, maybe, but 70? I'd have to be carried on a stretcher! But that doesn't keep me from relishing the journey and going along in spirit.

This nine-minute video captures a sense of the spiritual energy of this wonderful pilgrimage. And to see so many young people involved gives one hope for the future of the Church.
