Personal Retreat

[Barzillai]

Dear smithm29
I thought of a book you might enjoy for a retreat: (Hiking the Camino 500 Miles with Jesus) written by Father Dave Pivonka (St. Anthony Press).It is in essence his spiritual diary as he hikes the 500 mile Camino–the ancient pilgrim path to the tomb of the Apostle James. It is quite wonderful, simply written with keen spiritual insights for the pilgrim of Christ. At 135 pages it might be a good companion for a retreat.

Thank you for the book suggestion. I have never been to Europe, but am interested in the pilgrim routes to Santiago de Compostela. About a month ago I followed a couple on Twitter during their bike trip there. Her accounts were filled with little things that reminded them again and again they were traveling with a great cloud of witnesses.

And glad the information in my post was useful.

Again thank you for all your time and great advice

I’ve taken today off work and am heading out in about two hours. I’ll be coming back home tomorrow night, so I guess this is just a “trial run” before I take three or four days. Keep me in your prayers; I know that I tend to get distracted and bored easily.

God speed and God bless
