I have included some resources for your preparation and walking:
- “Pre-pilgrimage spiritual preparation,” to start the pilgrimage while still at home, priming our hearts for prayer.
- “Blessings of backpacks, staff, and pilgrims,” to bring your parish and priest into sending you on your way from the altar of your home parish.
- “Saints,” including a list of saints who made pilgrimage and prayers of my composition that you could read and pray on their feast day or that you could use on a daily basis, one after the other, ignoring the dates. It’s lovely to walk in the company of saints.
- “Trivia,” because inquisitive minds want to know for their own sake.
- “Daily prayers” that you might use in the mornings, evenings, and whenever it seemed appropriate to you.
Let grace overflow!
Fr. Patrick
