George Basil Hume on the identity and way of pilgrims

Summary: In his writings, Cardinal Hume described the identity of a pilgrim: A pilgrim is every man created by God and united with God. This unification takes place in the Holy Spirit through becoming like Christ (Gal 4: 6-7). Through sin, people moved away from their Creator and have the opportunity to return to Him through baptism. In this Sacrament, they become brothers of the Son of God and become incorporated into the Church. Staying in the community of God's People - which is realized through remaining in one Body, the Head of which is Christ (1 Cor 12: 12-27) - is characteristic of each pilgrim. Pilgrimage or unity with Christ and creating the community of God's Children comes into realization through love for all people, not being indifferent to injustice and exploitation, being honest even in face of dishonesty. In this way, according to Hume, a pilgrim is human. He is the one who not only does not wage war, but also introduces God's Kingdom. His efforts towards the development of all mankind are an experience of living in hope anchored in Christ - the truth about the new creation. Putting his trust in God's Son is the route a pilgrim covers getting to know God (Ro 1: 20).
