Palm Sunday … what a gift to enter Holy Week as I am on the Camino. Today was a challenge but I completed almost the 20 miles. As I was entering the final 3 miles, a lovely woman, Rose, noticed I was struggling a bit and offered to take me the remaining distance. Rose has done the Camino and was concerned about this pilgrim. I am grateful. The pilgrims that have accompanied me these day were not present this morning. I was hoping to see them one more time, so, I set off alone, which I came to prefer. I was able to proceed at my pace, taking a 15-minute break every couple of hours or an hour in the afternoon. Today I met pilgrims from Taiwan, Hong Kong, England, and Portugal.
I became aware that the Department of Homeland Security sent an email to one million people who are considered migrants. People are working with individuals who decide to self-deport. This is so unjust. I walk with many intentions but the migrants continue to be with me.
