    Pilgrim Blessing

    This is the blessing I heard many times. The first time in Le Puy, then Conques, then other places: All-powerful God, you always show mercy toward those who you love and you are never far away for those who seek you. Be with your servants on this pilgrimage and guide their...

    Postponement of Camino Journey

    You can count on pilgrims' prayers for your daughter and your whole family. We'll walk with you in mind, praying for a complete recovery for your daughter and a Camino of thanks for you next year. Maybe your daughter will walk it with you as well. (My first Camino was to say thank you for my own...

    You know you are a seasoned pilgrim, when you

    When you wake up back at home in the middle of the night and can't remember in which albergue you're presently.

    Wonderful B&B in Acebo

    Yes, it's a good place. Very special.

    Camino good and bad.

    Dear Kiwi Walker, Your experience of the wrong reasons is something that most of us have experienced. We all have encountered people who found ways to lighten up their load... They seem to be doing a 'camino light.' It's hard if you can't get a bunk in an albergue or a refugio. Most of us, I...

    Buen Camino, Padre! The Camino is rejoicing at the idea of welcoming you and feeling the weight of your shoes all the way to Santiago! Blessings and joy, claire

    Trail Mantra

    What a cool mantra! claire

    Trail Mantra

    I guess you may need to be French to sing the song Ultreya: Tous les matins nous prenons le chemin... We learned it in Conques, and sang it pretty all the way to Santiago, where we made fools of ourselves by singing it on top of our lungs. Oh, dreadful French pilgrims. But now, it comes in...

    Five tips for the novice pilgrim

    If you have the time, I suggest that you and your husband watch this TED video: http://www.ted.com/talks/benjamin_zande ... ssion.html Conductor Benjamin Zander does not believe in people being tone-deaf :-))) claire

    Five tips for the novice pilgrim

    Bravo, earnrunner! Your five tips are very good. How did you find them out so fast? It's taking me a life time, or so it seems, to stumble upon them! Bravo. Ultreya!

    Catholic Mass on the Camino Frances

    Dear markss, I hear you. I think I understand what you say. You are right. Doctrinally, only Catholics can receive the Eucharist. This is the current law of the Church at the moment. What some of us are saying, (in my case, I am a Catholic woman, I have coordinated the RCIA program, been a...

    Catholic Mass on the Camino Frances

    Frankly, Br. David, i would suggest you stay from the Vatican at this time until there is a major change there! I like your take on the Eucharist. Maybe there is a difference of views here along the lines of age. The older we are, the more relaxed we feel about this. Some of the opinions I read...

    Catholic Mass on the Camino Frances

    'Top tips', what a great idea! For our daughter's wedding, some non-Catholic friends were really taken aback when everyone started to shake hands for the sign of peace... I hope someone here can do such a thing. A simple introduction to the mysteries of a Catholic Eucharist... claire

    Catholic Mass on the Camino Frances

    As a Catholic, I would rather give the visitor a taste of honey of my belief than a taste of vinegar. The least I can do is to interpret what is going on during a Eucharist to the one who does not know. Jesus sat at the table of folks who were looked down upon. He was inclusive. I expect He...

    Catholic Mass on the Camino Frances

    We did this once just before Melide on a Sunday we caught a mass this way, which was lovely.

    Catholic Mass on the Camino Frances

    One way to know is by asking at the Albergue. Usually the hospitaler@ knows. I have been at masses where we were very few -- villagers and pilgrims. Bigger cities definitely have masses. Pilgrims' masses as well. Carrion de los Condes is one I can remember. Le Puy, SJPP, Roncesvalles, Jaca...
