September 22, 2012, Fifth regional pilgrimage of Tuscany, organized by the Coordinamento Toscano Benedetto XVI.The fifth edition of the pilgrimage of Tuscany groups for the application of the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum, has been held on 22 September 2012.
Looking back to the first edition, organized by three groups only, all of us could realize how many steps forward have been made, and the importance the event has assumed in these few years. The pilgrimage has seen the participation of people from all Tuscany and also of parish priests from different dioceses of the region. Moreover, seminarists and priests of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest were present, as well as religious men from the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate.
After the arrival at the Sanctuary of His Eminence most reverend Card. Raymond L. Burke, everyone followed the procession of entrance in the Basilica. More than 400 faithful attended the Pontifical Mass celebrated by the cardinal, among them representatives of different orders of knighthood. The choral 'Savio' of Livorno performed Palestrina's Missa Brevis, and His Excellence most reverend Mons. Simone Giusti, archbishop of Livorno, brought his greetings at the end of the liturgy.
The faithful had the possibility to obtain the plenary indulgence at the usual conditions, and to receive the Papal Blessing by His Eminence card. Burke, after the integral reading of the relative decretum of the Apostolicae Penitentiaeria.
At the end, many pilgrims had lunch in the guest room of the Sanctuary, together with His Eminence card. Burke, who liked to convey his greetings to all the participants, with Mons. Wach (superior of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest) and don Philippe Mora (rector of the Institute seminary at Gricigliano).
