September 30 - Evangelization Is Aim of Shrines, Says Prelate
 
Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days  
 
The main objective of pilgrimages to a shrine is evangelization, says the president of the Pontifical Council for Migrants and Travelers.
 
Archbishop Vegliņ pointed out that "the moments of pilgrimage, because of the circumstances that motivate them, the places to which they go and their closeness to daily needs and joys, are a fertile field for the word of God to take root in hearts."
 
"We have become more aware of this possibility over the last decades, in which we have passed from a devotional practice to a pastoral of pilgrimage, discovering that this moment becomes an occasion for the renewal of faith and also for a first evangelization," he explained.
 
Among other things, the Pope stressed the sense of the sacred in shrines, giving pilgrims access to the sacraments, and helping them to encounter God.
 
"For some who go on pilgrimage to shrines, this is the only vehicle that unites them to the ecclesial community," Archbishop Vegliņ noted.
 
The archbishop urged his listeners to take advantage of every situation to "proclaim the Gospel" and "facilitate the encounter" that "will make possible growth in the faith of the Church."
 
"Every pilgrim deserves our attention," he said. "Insofar as possible, each must be received as an individual, in a personal way, as it is his happiness that might be at stake."
 
Archbishop Vegliņ encouraged his listeners to work "so that the pilgrimage and the shrine are really realms of the Word, of celebration, of charity, of ecclesial communion, of Eucharistic communion and of mission."
