Strannik is the Russian word for “pilgrim,” writes Catherine. “The pilgrimage I want to talk about is the life–pilgrimage.” As we touch in our hearts the nostalgia of Adam and Eve for the lost paradise, the hunger for union with God, we embark on the journey that is both inward and outward. It is a pilgrimage of prayer and service, of stillness and availability, in the footsteps of the pilgrim Christ.
