Description

The most popular route of the Camino de Santiago begins near France and extends westward for much of the width of northern Spain, ending at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. It's a route that's been walked by Christian pilgrims since the 9th century and takes most pilgrims about a month to complete.

Consider one possible way of praying while on the trail, namely, by engaging in a 30-day immersion in the Spiritual Exercises, a spiritual discipline created by the 16th century Spanish Christian Ignatius of Loyola. The Exercises invite the retreatant-pilgrim into daily prayer with the Gospels, with the hope that he/she will experience a closer walk with Jesus. This is the hope that inspired Susan, her husband, and a brave band of faith-filled friends to walk the Camino and pray the Exercises this year.
