STRANNIK: THE CALL TO THE PILGRIMAGE OF THE HEART‘Strannik’ is Russian for pilgrim, one with a vocation—a unique, holy calling. Pilgrimage is more than something you ‘do.’ ‘Being a pilgrim’ consumes all of you. The pilgrim is to “be the Gospel and to preach it with his words and with his being.” Learn how to fulfill the hunger and dream of the pilgrimage that we must all take to unity with God. In Strannik, Catherine shows that pilgrimage is not just something for a few spiritual ascetics with wanderlust. Pilgrimage comes out of a quest for God. Even less does it resemble the modern tourist-style ‘pilgrimages’ that try to cover as many holy places as possible in the briefest time possible. Rather, the true strannik begins by looking within the self, where God already is. Written for all Christians, those who have found and those who seek. This is the pilgrimage of each person’s life.
