A MOMENT IN LIFE
Retirement
Retirement is the first time most people have both the weeks and the reason; Rome and Assisi at an unhurried pace, or Fátima and Lourdes for a Marian journey with level ground, are where most retirees begin.
Where to begin
The reasons that most often sit behind a journey like this. Each opens a fuller page.
Where this leads
ItalyRome
Daily Mass in the basilicas, the tombs of the Apostles, and small churches open at every hour of the day.
ItalyAssisi
A small hill town built around two saints who gave everything up and began again; it rewards two nights, not a day trip.
FranceLourdes
The grotto at night, the water, and a place where the sick are at the centre rather than the edge.
