Pilgrim's Way

Pilgrim's Way is for readers who know little of religion, Scripture, doctrine, prayer, or the order of salvation. It begins before the present crisis. It begins with God, because man cannot understand the disorder of the age until he first learns the order of creation, sin, mercy, sacrifice, covenant, Christ, and the Church.

These chapters should be read slowly. They do not assume that the reader already knows the Bible. Each lesson explains the sacred event first, then the doctrine God teaches through it, then the lesson the soul must receive.

The first sequence will move through the foundations:

1. God Created All Things in Wisdom and Order
2. Adam and Eve: Trust, Commandment, Sin, and Mercy
3. Cain and Abel: True Worship and False Worship
4. Noe and the Ark: Judgment, Mercy, and the One Place of Safety
5. Abraham: Faith, Obedience, and the Promise
6. Moses and the Exodus: Deliverance From Bondage
7. The Ten Commandments: God's Law as Mercy and Order
8. David: Kingship, Courage, Sin, and Repentance
9. The Prophets: God Warns, Corrects, and Consoles
10. The Blessed Virgin Mary: Humility and the Coming of Christ
11. The Birth of Christ: God Comes Near
12. Christ Teaches, Heals, and Calls Sinners to Repent
13. The Cross: Sacrifice, Sin, and Divine Love
14. The Resurrection: Christ Conquers Death
15. Pentecost and the Church: God Forms His People

This path is not childish. It is simple in the stronger sense: it gives first principles without confusion. The reader should come away knowing that God made all things, that creation has order, that sin wounds that order, that mercy does not erase justice, that sacrifice is central, that Christ fulfills the promises, and that He forms a real Church rather than a collection of private opinions.

Begin with the first lesson. Learn first that the world is not an accident and man is not his own maker.
