- Time of past OR future Camino
- CF 2013, CF from Lourdes 2015, CP Porto 2022
This prayer was published last July in the Catholic Charities newsletter for the feast day of St. James, 25 July. I know it may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I thought it might be inspiring for anyone who may need a boost while on, or preparing for, their journey. Buen Camino.
Oh, 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 may 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.
