Il pellegrinaggio dei cristiani LGBT un balsamo per l’anima

Testimony of Giacomo from Milan onPilgrimage of Christians LGBT+ "Get up and go! Along the path of Celestino V"(Abruzzo 3-11 August 2024)

For me, the experience of the pilgrimage of the Christian project LGBT was a cure -all, a balm for the soul. The fact of coming for a not easy year had made me bet, albeit with some shy fear, on this new adventure.

And in fact the concrete reality of the journey has overcome all expectations and cut down the barriers I had inside. So I was able to experience an experience of communion, fraternity and sharing.

The fatigue of the journey has been lightened by songs, games, stories but also deep reflections and with a thousand faces encountered and which I carry impressed in the mind and heart.

I hugely thank the organizers for tenacity, patience and determination and all the travel companions who have made themselves close to my story and my experience for a stretch of road. Thanks and I hope the next.
