From the perspective of a pilgrim, the reason for our travels is a reason that is \u2018in this world but not of it\u2019. Namely, we travel long distances to all these sites, such as the Areopagus where St. Paul preached, because of their spiritual, and therefore transcendental, significance to us as Christians. The external realities that we encounter can therefore shape us internally. But for those who are mere tourists, what takeaway will they have that can help orient them later in life?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image4977_bce0cd-ef.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image4977_bce0cd-ef .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:682px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image4977_bce0cd-ef.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image4977_bce0cd-ef .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image4977_bce0cd-ef{max-width:682px;}.image-is-svg.kb-image4977_bce0cd-ef{-webkit-flex:0 1 100%;flex:0 1 100%;}.image-is-svg.kb-image4977_bce0cd-ef img{width:100%;}.kb-image4977_bce0cd-ef .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image4977_bce0cd-ef size-full kb-image-is-ratio-size\"><div class=\"kb-is-ratio-image kb-image-ratio-land43\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"884\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/usml.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-4979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usml.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture2.png 884w, https:\/\/usml.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/usml.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture2-768x577.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" \/><\/div><figcaption>Joseph Tapia-Beeman, archdiocese of Seattle, center, with Brother Kevin Menard, left, and Joseph Mick, right, in the entry building of the Acropolis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id4977_ca8ac0-29 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id4977_ca8ac0-29 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id4977_ca8ac0-29 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id4977_ca8ac0-29 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id4977_ca8ac0-29 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id4977_ca8ac0-29 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id4977_ca8ac0-29 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column4977_2d8d5b-86 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4977_2d8d5b-86 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4977_2d8d5b-86 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4977_2d8d5b-86 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4977_2d8d5b-86 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4977_2d8d5b-86 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4977_2d8d5b-86{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4977_2d8d5b-86 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4977_2d8d5b-86 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4977_2d8d5b-86\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p>When the moment is past, when the day is done, when their trip has come to an end, what experiences of theirs will help guide and give them a greater perspective in life \u2013one that looks beyond one\u2019s own self? Will all the photos they (and we ourselves) have taken ever be viewed again? Perhaps yes. But will viewing these photos and memories merely recall the events of the past, or will it help us make present the effects and experiences of being there, just as the celebration of the Eucharist makes present the sacrifice of Christ? This is part of what it means to be a pilgrim. Not to consume and take in various experiences and return to your life fundamentally unchanged, but to let the new moments of reflection, meditation, and strengthened connections to our Christian heritage help guide and form us in becoming a more perfect example and image of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we\u2019ve looked upon pillars from of old, built to house the ivory and gold statue of an ancient Greek goddess who has no surviving devotion \u2013mere remnants of a past with no present form.
