On Day 8 of our pilgrimage, after visiting Pamplona where St. Ignatius was wounded, we moved on to Xavier Castle, strategically positioned between the two Spanish regions of Navarra and Aragon. Here, St. Francis Xavier was born and raised. We toured the castle which has been recently renovated, and held a prayer service in the Basilica Church. As part of the service, I led our pilgrims in a brief guided meditation. Learn more about Heart to Heart: https://htoh.us Attend a silent retreat: https://jesuitretreat.org
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Go into the whole world
and proclaim the gospel to every creature.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved;
whoever does not believe will be condemned.
These signs will accompany those who believe:
in my name they will drive out demons,
they will speak new languages.
They will pick up serpents with their hands,
and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them.
They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” ...
