Final thoughts from Leon Stuparich on reaching the end of the pilgrimage 
The amazing thing about pilgrimage is that in many ways – with trust – with faith, it’s easy

It doesn’t mean you don’t meet extraordinary challenges and difficulties along the way
But it is so amazing, because you realise how much the human body and human spirit is capable of. 
Especially if you allow yourself to be supported by people you meet along the way
Would it be so enjoyable in places of conflict or hardship? Almost definitely not. 
But to say that, is to underestimate the power of the human spirit. The determination. The fortitude. 
But also this is certainly a measure of peace in the country in which we live in. The community, the generosity, the passion for peace. 
Our journey of peace has revealed that most people we have met are interested in the subject of peace. To the point where we were hosted with so much kindness. 
It’s been humbling and enlightening. Scary and tiring. 
People have said pilgrimage has changed their perspective on life. I will only know if this is true once I return home. 
But today I look forward to our last day of walking. A ceremony of peace. And the completion of journey I will never forget.
