Walking Along: Camino

Camino

On the outskirts of Betanzos one of the churches was actually open. :) I was particularly tickled because it was dedicated to Nuestra Senora del Camino ( Our Lady of the Way). There was a nice shrine to her inside.

The Camino rolled through quiet countryside today. One of the mowing crews was out keeping the path beautiful.

I am very thankful to be out walking again. There are many more pilgrims on this Camino this year than when I walked this route in 2019. But it is beautiful to be here... and able to share in the grace.

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.
