The Rev. Javier Almendárez-Bautista considers the pilgrim’s journey into the presence of God (Psalm 84, Luke 2:22-40): “Pilgrimage for the Psalmist is an intimate experience of the highways and byways to the Lord’s house, and this painstaking endeavor is something that the pilgrim longs for — a longing that’s just as much about the journey as it is about the destination.”
