Pilgrim Prayers for the Journey Home

Buried deep, in the ancient poetic Hebrew prayer book of the Psalms, there is a collection of pilgrim songs, Psalms 120 to 134 - the Psalms of Ascent. They are prayers, songs and poetry that echo the journeys God's people made, three times a year up to the temple in Jerusalem.Whether people of faith or no faith, our lives continue to echo the journeys of those ancient pilgrims. Sometimes that journey is taken alone, sometimes in community, but the relentless challenges of our journeys, the year-on-year struggles to share the complexity of our lives with others or even ourselves, remains.

Pilgrim Prayers for the Journey Home is a contemplative fourteen day pilgrimage through the Psalms of Ascent, encouraging daily prayer, meditation and reflection to encourage you on your daily walk through the challenges of everyday life, connecting you to those first pilgrims and to the God who walks alongside today.
