- Notes
- Archbishop Hiltz contemplates the steps inside Canterbury Cathedral. "Having been climbed for some 1,400 years by abbots and monks, archbishops and deans, pastors and pilgrims from all over the world, these steps of stone have been made smooth by their footsteps. The wear and curvature they bear are visible signs of the quest of all who desire through pilgrimage and prayer in this hallowed place to draw near to God". "To climb these steps is to be humbled in the knowledge that thousands of men and women have trod them before us, and thousands more will tread them after us".
