They will be shade in the heat, shelter in the cold, and a staff to the pilgrim.From the Foreword by poet Wally Swist:"A Staff to the Pilgrim is an auspicious and true gift that combines the material and the physical with the spiritual and the transcendent. Fr Gabriel introduces the saints to us, then graciously hands us our own staff to be pilgrims on our way."
