Thirty Two Prayers from the Camino de Santiago

By Lois Thornton

Pilgrims have been walking the Camino de Santiago for centuries and its allure continues to draw hundreds of people every year. This collection of essays captures the Camino experience of one such pilgrim--the Camino in all of its beauty, its rigor, its annoyances, its history, its community, and its mystery. While the essays are not devotional in their content, each one is headed by a scripture verse and ended with a prayer--one prayer for each day on the Camino. It is the author's hope that they inspire readers to find meaning in their own journey experiences, just as each day on the Camino laid open to her a greater appreciation for the mysteries of life, sometimes through grand vistas, other times through minute details. Whatever the view, little is learned without tucking into the journey, covered in the dust of the trail, alone and yet in community. As they say on the Camino, "Of all the paths you follow in your life, make sure some of them are dirt."If you have walked the Camino or dream of doing so, these essays will capture your heart with their candid descriptions of pilgrim life. If you are looking for unique perspectives to encourage your devotional life, the essays and prayers will inspire you.
