“Jesus is sending us into the world to share the hope that we have in him,” said the archbishop. The pilgrimage offered plenty of examples of what that hope looks like in person. That Saturday morning, pilgrims first began to fill All Souls Church as the sun started peeking over the horizon. At 8 a.m., a spirit of anticipation was in the air as Archbishop Gomez led the crowd onto Main Street, with some bystanders gawking and capturing the crowd and the moment on their cellphones.

The Hallow app created a sensation by featuring St. Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975) throughout the season of Lent this year. The two publishers of his most popular book, “The Way” (Scepter Pubs, $11.96), found themselves overwhelmed by orders in the tens of thousands. I love that book.
