He has the following to say to us: For a little over a month this autumn, I will be with three of my sisters and a brother-in-law as we become pilgrims along the Camino de Santiago. We will be walking around 250 miles, mostly along the Portugal coastline before we cross the Spanish border and land in Santiago and the church of St. James where, tradition tells us, Saint James the Apostle is buried. It will be a time of prayer and reflection for me. Please know that my heart will be joined to all of yours as I make my way! And I look forward to seeing you all at the beginning of Advent. And thank you in advance for all your prayers.
