You know me, guys. Pray for me. You know I’ll appreciate it.

Want to know what I love about having Paul along? We sing songs together. All the time. Sometimes we play a game called, “Sing as much of a Broadway Musical together that we can remember.” Which entails us starting at the first song and getting as far as we can. We switch parts and doContinueContinue reading “July 23–Paulie Waulie Doodle could use your prayers”

I probably wouldn’t have made it without this one. This is Jessica. She is a coworker of mine, soft-spoken and sweet. One day we were working and I started talking about this trip I was going to take in summer of 2013 to the Camino de Santiago. “Here,” I said, “I’ll forward you my groupContinueContinue reading “July 22-Pray for my girl Jess”

This is Graham. My sibs met him playing soccer, and then we realized he was a neighbor and they became closer friends. Sometimes he talks smack to me, but I know he’s kidding. If he ever finds an animal, he tries to rescue it. Squirrels, birds, you name it…he’s picked it up (rabies, man!) andContinueContinue reading “July 21–Prayers for beebee Graham-slam”

This gorgeous girl is a grace to have along. Not only is she good at Spanish, a force to be reckoned with generally, supportive, beautiful, and graceful…she’s also an expert on chocolate chip cookies. Such things are vital on excursions. This pilgrim goes to school with some of the kidz in the group. We knewContinueContinue reading “July 20–Pray for Car-lay”

Once I went to a dance and the friend I was with, Sam, said, “Do you see that guy over there? He’s becoming Catholic.” So the friend introduced us and I was like, “HI. I LOVE BEING CATHOLIC. DO YOU WANT TO GO ON A NEW YEAR’S RETREAT WITH ME? There will be dancing.” AndContinueContinue reading “July 19–Prayers for my son, Matt”

I think you were technically supposed to pray for Fr. Simon today. But now it’s BONUS DAY! Two pilgrims for the price of one! Please pray for MARCUS! This guy is actually walking the full 800 km. Whew! He joins us from Canada. Oh, and he’s a seminarian (sorry, ladies) so he could use allContinueContinue reading “July 18–Pray for Marcus. And Fr. Simon.”

MY MOM IS JUST LIKE, “TELL THEM TO PRAY FOR MY FEET.” So, yeah. Straight from her mouth. Pray for the feet of this woman who has adventured across the Carribean, Europe, Asia, Australia and America. The woman who birthed five kiddos, homeschooled them all, and is now making her way to Santiago. Woo hoo!!

One day I got a phone call on my work line from a man I’d never met before. “Hi,” he said, “I heard you’re walking the Camino de Santiago. I want to join you.” It was bizarre. The conversation that followed was probably awkward for both of us as I tried to ask important butContinueContinue reading “July 16- Prayers for Bob”

This one joins us. She’s a complete treasure. Like, holiest one I know, for real. In the words of my sister, “She probably sees visions of Jesus and Mary, but she just hasn’t told anyone yet because she’s super humble.” We’re so glad to have her along! Praise and bless God for all of HisContinueContinue reading “July 15–Prayers for the lovely M.”
