My Prayer for the Pilgrim

[William Garza]

I hope the morning finds you rested ,greeting the day with a sense of wholeness, more than you were yesterday. I hope each and every step brings you closer to who you want to be, what you want to find, where the goal,that far off ultima thule is evergreen in your sight,heart and mind and... when you find yourself ready to take the first step, you smile.

Pilgrim, I hope the wind at your back carrys you on gentle warm wings
If you find yourself alone on some far off and lonely path,remember ..all roads lead somewhere..you are mearly here, going there...

And if you find yourself in the torment and toil of doubt,I hope you find in your steps as you look back,that you have left something
behind.

Having a prayer to recite as one walks is especially important to those who walk for religious or spiritual reasons. When my wife and I walked the Camino, we carried two prayers that we recited each morning before beginning our walk. The first was from Joyce Rupp's book, Walk in a Relaxed Manner:

Guardian of my soul, guide me on my way this day.
Keep me safe from harm.
Deepen my relationship with you, your Earth, and all your family.
Strengthen your love within me that I may be a presence of your peace in our world.
Amen.
– Tom Pfeffer & Joyce Rupp

Inspired by the first, the second prayer was one we wrote ourselves:

We thank you Lord for this day and for all our blessings.
We thank you for calling us on this journey,
and we call upon St James to intercede for us as we ask that you guide and protect us as you have guided all the pilgrims who have preceded us.
We offer all our hopes, joys, sufferings and pains along the way as an act of faith in you, Father.
And we ask that you help us to walk in a relaxed manner in your presence each day.
Amen.

We laminated these prayers back-to-back on a small card which we carried in our waistbelt pocket.

Happy Easter and Buen Camino all pilgrims -- past, present, and future.
