Walking Along: Onward and upward

Onward and upward

A lovely day dawns in Madrid. I will be boarding the plane soon for Atlanta. It's been a wonderful pilgrimage, ending on this feast of St. Junipero Serra, the missionary to California. Eighteen years ago today I was ordained a deacon to proclaim the gospel and serve the people. Through the intercession of St. Junipero, may I serve God and his people for many more years.

Pilgrim Prayer

O God, who brought your servant Abraham

out of the land of the Chaldeans,

protecting him in his wanderings,

who guided the Hebrew people across the desert,

we ask that you watch over us, your servants,

as we walk in the love of your name

to Santiago de Compostela.

Be for us our companion on the walk,
Our guide at the crossroads,
Our breath in our weariness,
Our protection in danger,
Our albergue on the Camino,
Our shade in the heat,
Our light in the darkness,
Our consolation in our discouragements,
And our strength in our intentions.

So that with your guidance we may arrive

safe and sound at the end of the Road

and enriched with grace and virtue

we return safely to our homes filled with joy.

In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Apostle Santiago, pray for us.
Santa Maria, pray for us.
