Many of you know I am traveling with my pastor Father Jonathan.
When he agreed to walk the Way I was gratified and somewhat concerned he might find the Camino less than I have advertised. With that concern in mind, I offered that on Camino you will meet many one day and not again, maybe not until Santiago.
I went so far as to intimate walking with me, step by step,at be the lesser of alternatives.
Three days in and my concerns are gone.
Father is quite a bit younger than me and very wide-eyed at all he sees. Not that he isn't well traveled ( he's been on missions to France, Namibia, Haiti, etc) but the Camino is having it's profound effect we of the Forum know so well.
He's still the same Fr Jonathan, but not.
He sometimes walks with me, sometimes for short or extended periods with other pilgrims, but most often alone.
He is finding his faith strengthened at every step and his knees weakened in equal measure.
In every town we've stopped he's concelebrated Mass, much to his pleasure. But today we celebrated Mass outside, just the two of us, to my pleasure.
The Camino continues to provide for all.
For the newest pilgrim. For the veteran. For the self absorbed and the Contrite.
We have three days to SdC. Two in the Cathedral city...then off to Muxia.
Bless you all,
Arn
