It is three weeks since I journeyed south from the green hills of Lancashire to the Thames valley. Since the days of Angela, our foundress ,to be on the move runs in Ursuline blood . She was a keen pilgrim, internally and externally seeking God's will for her. Angela's travels took her far and near, including a perilous trip to the Holy Land, facing both pirates and storms at sea. My travels down the M6 were mild in comparison!
In paintings and statues Angela is often depicted stepping out with her pilgrim staff. She was even buried with it! It can be seen in her glass coffin in her sanctuary in Brescia.
