Soon I am off to the airport to begin my pilgrimage – My Camino!

I was blessed to have Fr Jacek and parishioners of St Gabriel’s provide a Pilgrims blessing this past Sunday.

Thanks for all of your prayer.

Here is a Pilgrim Prayer:

 “St James, Apostle Chosen among the first You were the first to drink The Cup of the Master And you are the great protector of pilgrims; Make us strong in faith And happy in hope On our pilgrim journey Following the path of Christian life And sustain us so that We may finally reach the glory of God the Father Amen”

 

“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 servant on this pilgrimage and guide his way in accord with your will.

Be a companion for him along his journey, a guide at crossroads, strength in his weariness, defense before dangers, shelter on the way, shade against the heat, light in the darkness, a comforter in his discouragements, and firmness in his intentions, in order that, through your guidance, he might arrive unscathed at the end of their journey and, enriched with graces and virtues, he might return safely home. 

Through Jesus Christ Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.”
