How will you get home from Midland?
Have you thought about how you will get home from Midland? Perhaps your family will come for the celebrations in Midland and take you home; perhaps you will return with friends. If you want to drive your own car back, you must first take it to Midland and park it there: on Monday, after Mass at St. John the Evangelist, drive to Midland, park by the Shrine, and wait for one of the pilgrimage drivers, who will pick you up in Midland and bring you back to the pilgrimage.
Dear friends: that we can keep alive the Polish tradition of pilgrimage to holy places is a great grace. Let us honour it, and not waste it. See you on the trail!
With prayer,
Jasiu Żurakowski
