Day 10
Culver to Plymouth - 15 miles
Clear Skies and a High of 72°
Culver: Pilgrims will walk through green forests and prairies along Indiana’s second largest natural lake, Lake Maxinkuckee. We’ll walk through “tunnel road” of trees and then visit historic Culver Academies. Pilgrims will cross the “Logansport Gates” tribute to cadets who, in 1913, rescued approximately 1,500 people from the flooded waters south in Logansport. As a symbol of their appreciation, the grateful residents of Logansport presented the Logansport Gate to the Academy in 1914. We will then pass the statue of Chief Menominee just south of Plymouth on our way to Pretty Lake.
Zeal
View Fr. Pete McCormick’s reflection on Zeal
As I Begin This Day
“Zeal is that flame of burning desire which one feels to make God known, loved, and served, and thus save souls… Our zeal is always guided by charity, everything is done with strength and gentleness: strength because we are courageous and unshakable in the midst of pain, difficulty and trials…and with gentleness because we have the tenderness of our Divine Model.”

Prayer
God of generosity and love, we come before you with open hands and hungry hearts. Fill us with the fire of your Holy Spirit and a desire to know, love, and serve you with zeal. Give us strength for our journey and help us to imitate your generosity. Make us unshakable in the midst of pain, difficulty, and trials, and fill our hearts with the example of gentleness and tenderness you have given us, your children. Amen.
Notre Dame, Our Mother,

Questions for Reflection
- What holds me back from being more zealous in my life? How can I, as Blessed Basil Moreau invites, further embody both charity and zeal in my personal and professional life?
- When have I been jealous of others’ treatment as the workers are in today’s Gospel? When have I been the one who worked all day and when have I been the latecomer? How can I further imitate the generous love and mercy that God has shown me?
- As I begin my pilgrimage today, this is my intention:
Gospel of the Day

The Journey
August 13-26, 2017
In the tradition of Father Sorin’s inspirational journey and intrepid spirit—our Notre Dame spirit—we will retrace his journey from Vincennes to Notre Dame. We will travel those miles in a collective renewal of our determination, to rededicate ourselves to Notre Dame’s mission to seek God, study the world, and serve humanity—to boldly lead the way into the new chapters of our story.
