Walking Along: West

West

After a rest day yesterday in Santiago, walking resumed today. The heat wave finally broke and today brought more typical Galician weather... drizzling rain and cool temperatures. I walked 21km to Negreira. On the way out of Santiago there was an overlook for one last glimpse of the Cathedral.

The walk was along country roads and forest tracks. A lovely quiet day of prayer and walking.

A Happy Belated Birthday to you. I am glad to hear that you had a day of rest in Santiago on your birthday. God bless you as you continue on your pilgrimage.

Gervaise wanted me to wish you a happy Birthday from her!

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.
