b'Today\\u2019s topics: Franciscan Pilgrimage by Land to World Youth Day Rio and Back\\nSummary of today\\u2019s show: The Franciscans of the Primitive Observance are a Boston-based religious order that abides strictly by St. Francis\\u2019 idea of embracing poverty as a spiritual exercise. So when Br. James Wartman and Fr. Michael Sheehan decided to go World Youth Day in Brazil, they weren\\u2019t going to hop on a plane and stay in a hotel. Instead the two friars began a pilgrimage by bus, train, automobile, boat, and foot from Boston to Rio de Janeiro and back again. They talk to Scot Landry and Michael Lavigne about the journey that began at the end of May and ended at the beginning of October and brought them there and back again through the mercy of God and the kindness of strangers\\u2013including begging for meals and places to sleep.\\nListen to the show:\\n\\nToday\\u2019s host(s): Scot Landry and Michael Lavigne\\nToday\\u2019s guest(s): Fr.
