Fe, esperanza, y caridad
El Camino is like the pilgrimage through life. On the Camino, one hopes to find the source of all good, which is God. We meet many people on the journey who are searching, hoping to find some purpose and meaning for their life. Many do not yet know God, but hopefully this journey will help them to come to meet Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Walking this Way makes one realize that if we just slow down, smell the flowers and take in the beauty of what surrounds us, we will find God. He is everywhere. I'm seeking to grow in the virtues of faith, hope and love on this Camino. There are many opportunities to practice all three: faith that the trail will come to an end, hope that the rain will stop, and love expressed in the people one meets and the beauty of the countryside. Take a look at some scenes from this day. I recited psalm 118 this morning: "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejouce and be glad." It was like Easter after yesterday's rain - full of sunshine! God is good.

Why does this post remind me of the last seen in Martin Sheen's movie "The Way"? If you didn't see the movie -- he never came back to real life after walking the Camino! So glad you are having a great experience. Linda K.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! A walking retreat. I like it. My feet would't, but I would. I can see that the way sometimes get cluttered with distractions and stops along the way, like cows and such. : ) I like this sort of pilgrimage.
