I am a lector at my local Catholic church. When we arrived at Roncesvalles two years ago, my wife and I naturally attended the pilgrim Mass. I was sitting in the pew prior to Mass when the priest approached and asked me to read the first reading from Jeremiah. Of course I accepted the invitation. It was a wonderful experience, reading the Word of the Lord in such a beautiful chapel in front of all those pilgrims. For the next two days, people who had been in attendance stopped me on the camino and thanked me for reading. I thought that was something of a miracle.
This was the first of three miracles occurring early in our camino. The first was that we arrived in Biarritz and stayed the night of 14 July as we had planned. We had no advance knowledge that this was Bastille Day. Imagine our surprise when we were greeted with a magnificent fireworks display.
That night, we discovered that we had no cord for recharging my iPhone. As we walked toward the train station the next morning, I flippantly stated to my wife that we needed an Apple store, never thinking for a moment that a small city such as Biarritz, lovely as it is, would have an Apple store. My wife immediately looked up and said, "Look over there." Lo and behold, it was an Apple store. We entered and purchased what we needed.
Our fourth miracle is that we finished the camino. This was perhaps the biggest miracle of all as I had retired from work only a few days prior to beginning the camino and had not prepared for the physical experience.
