Deacon Philip's Blog. 039;Being' scores over 'doing'. Companionship on the Way. May 31, 2016. Deacon Philip's Blog. Day 34: Kilometres 692 to 709 completed. From Arzua to O Pedrouzo. We are now just 21km from our final goal, the Cathedral and tomb of Santiago. That would be the equivalent of walking to Luton or Bedford from our church in Flitwick. Though I have encountered many people and made new friends there is one companion that stands out above all on the Way. Throughout the days I have carried ...

Bibliography – Deacon Philip's Blog
https://deaconsphilipsblog.wordpress.com/bibliography
Deacon Philip's Blog. 039;Being' scores over 'doing'. Here are some of the books I am relying on for preparation, some of which will travel with me…on a Kindle. Every Pilgrim’s Guide to walking to Santiago de Compostela. Müller and Aránguiz; Translation by Laurie Dennet. This is a rather challenging read as it asks the physical, and the armchair, pilgrim to reflect on the meaning of ‘pilgrimage’. THE WAY; a movie written and directed by Emilio Estavez. Thank you to…. Companionship on the Way.

Receiving the Compostella – Deacon Philip's Blog
https://deaconsphilipsblog.wordpress.com/2016/06/02/receiving-the-compostella
Deacon Philip's Blog. 039;Being' scores over 'doing'. June 2, 2016. Deacon Philip's Blog. The Final Day: Kilometres completed, zero! Today might easily have been anticlimactic. After the thrill of arrival in Santiago, visiting the cathedral and realising that the road is finished taking this day at leisure might well have seemed a little underrated. First to the tourist information for a final stamp in our peregrinos credentials and confirmation of the time of the Pilgrim’s Mass for the day. The ‘o...

After Mass we shared our first supper, with the newcomers experiencing their first ‘menu del dia’. My strategy of prudently walking only half of the day w...

Along the way today we saw the site of an impressive 4th century BC earthwork. ...

Though glowering clouds and sprinkles of rain followed our path today we stayed dry. Though the element that assailed us the most was a strong, chill wind.
