Jul 22, 2025 || Daily Thought & Prayer

Thought

With hearty thoughts, staff and pack

There is nothing in life that we lack

Set out on well-worn pilgrims way

Before the sun bakes earth this day

Wild grass, lavender, summer flowers

Fill senses, mind and morning hours

Lift soul with hymns learnt long ago

In footsteps of the Camino Santiago

Over rough terrain and many miles

The feet are tender, gone are smiles

Limping on blistery, swollen feet

Rest house sought and food to eat

Should we surrender firm resolve?

Should we forget how we evolve?

The way is tough and makes a bruise

So, heal the wounds, wear better shoes

We are equipped for journey’s end

Joy and sorrow to transcend

I am the Way says Word with crown

Goal’s symbol is cathedral town

Prayer

O Lord you are the way, the truth and the light. At times I am overwhelmed by obstacles, but your grace shows the way, your truth dissolves the false and your light gives joy.
