Camino Pilgrims III

We are about to leave for Ascension Thursday Mass, yesterday was without doubt the toughest day, we walked close to 40 kilometers across some mountains to arrive at a small town Acebo late at night. Here we met a French man who was generous to pay for us to stay in an albergue-shelter. The previous night we spent in Astorga at their seminary, which is actually no longer in use.

On the Camino they have come to know us as the juggling priests...even though those who are in cassocks are not the most important part of the show...haha

Thank you for all your prayers; we continue to remain united through prayer.
