There is a joy and a peace that words do not describe in being here in Santiago. What a wonderful gift!
I took a walk around the old town this afternoon and collected not one, but two, Compostelas. The first is from the Cathedral as a pilgrim to Santiago. The second is from the Franciscans since this is the 800th anniversary of St. Francis walking to Santiago.
I am headed back to the Cathedral this evening for the Pilgrim's Mass... time to offer my thanks to God in sacrament. This Mass is for Nancy Slattery. I am particularly blown away that the gospel for today is the call of Matthew from Matthew, chapter 9. Does it get any better than to hear Jesus say.... Come, follow me??? Can it be lived better than by his call....it is mercy I desire, not sacrifice????
Buen Camino.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Joyful blessings and thanksgiving for your grace filled walk and renewed Amen.
