Fr. Pat Hannon, C.S.C., debuts his new book, an incisive and ruminative From Glory to Glory: A Pilgrim’s Notes From the Badlands of Grace. Occasioned by the author’s walking, with siblings, the famous Camino de Santiago in the fall of 2024, the book traces all manner of other pilgrimages—to and from home, family, love, self, and God. Each page shines with the craft and vision of a spiritual essayist who has lived the insights he has arrived at over more than three decades as a teacher, writer, preacher, and pilgrim.
At once a meditation on the Christian tradition regarding pilgrimage as well as a reaching out to the broader cultural understanding of that word, Hannon’s book—which includes a foreword by acclaimed essayist and biographer Michael N. McGregor—offers nourishment for all those seeking wisdom for their own journeys.
