What Is The Pilgrim's Year?

---

The Pilgrim's Year is the Saintly Journeys Liturgical Calendar — a structured, three-year cycle of weekly Gospel readings designed for Catholic, Protestant, and seeker pilgrims alike. Like the Catholic Church's liturgical year, it orders sacred time around the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Each year follows a primary Gospel — Luke, John, and Matthew — moving through six seasons of the soul's journey: Awakening, Encounter, Formation, the Emmaus Road, the Sent, and the Fallow. Two readings recur as Annual Anchors every year: the Emmaus Road (Luke 24:13–35) in Week 27, and the Restoration of Peter (John 21:15–19) within the Emmaus Road season.

To use The Pilgrim's Year, simply find the current week and read that Gospel passage slowly and prayerfully. One reading per week, one season at a time. The Pilgrim's Year begins each cycle on the First Sunday of Advent and all readings are from the English Standard Version (ESV).
