Dear
Pilgrim, Year
2000 is here - the most exciting time in the history of Christian
pilgrimages! During the global
celebrations of the 2,000 years since the birth of Christ, the
grandest of them will take place in Italy and Israel. For the
Catholic Church, the Jubilee is a Holy Year of the Lord's favor, a
year of the remission of sins, reconciliation, manifold conversions
and extra sacramental penance. The tradition of Jubilee Years
involves the granting of indulgences as The Church tries to insure
that all the faithful can benefit from these special graces.For thousands of years saints and mystics have borne testimony to the multiple joys of the pilgrimage. 206 Tours has been offering a modern version of this ancient experience since 1985, so that you too might experience the joy that millions before you have known. A pilgrim's journey with 206 Tours is unlike an ordinary tourist's experience. While our pilgrims go to see beautiful places - and they are beautiful - they also are searching to encounter the love of God. This experience can transform an individual forever. A pilgrimage offers peace, love, joy, spiritual growth, comfort, compassion, contentment, a sense of purpose, and an enlightened consciousness. A successful pilgrimage is like receiving a kiss from Jesus! Who is a pilgrim and where does he or she come from? The pilgrim comes from all walks of life, the rich, the poor, the young and the old, educated and non-educated, happy and sad, the sick and the healthy. A pilgrim seeks to be a more prayerful, spiritually-focused person. Although not exempt from tragedy or suffering, a pilgrim’s faith and hope carry him, enabling him to bear the challenges of life. Pilgrimages are vacations from which you will experience the grace of God and return full of His love. Pilgrimages, prayer, faith, and good works promise to be a source of strength and of lasting joy. As Matthew’s gospel reminds us, “he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened.” Since 1985 we have worked diligently with over 200,000 pilgrims to Medjugorje, the Holy Land and many other important shrines around the globe. Upon arrival at your destination, 206 Tours employs professional Catholic tour guides to accompany you each step of the way. Our faith, dedication and expertise in Catholic Christian pilgrimages enable 206 Tours to offer you the spiritual journey of a lifetime. We emphasize personal service because each one of our clients is important. We pledge to treat people with respect, taking time to answer questions and accommodate individual needs. Our professional staff will handle all the details so you can relax, reflect and celebrate the gift of faith a pilgrimage will bestow. |
