Camino Gratitude

Camino Frances from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela

Camino Practice

I’ve been walking the streets of Providenciales, Turks & Caicos to prepare my legs for Spain. With a full backpack and sunscreen face, I start my 6 am journey along Lower Bight Road towards Turtle Cove Marina or towards Blue Haven. Sunrises are magnificent and the roads are mostly empty, allowing thoughts to pass wherever their intent. My goal each morning is to show gratitude by saying “good morning” to everyone in sight. I’ve become friends with Jehovah Witness evangelists to students walking to school to early morning workers. I love the solitude and ability to think slowly while taking in the sights of Providenciales.

    Dear Jesus, help us to spread your fragrance everywhere we go. Flood our souls with your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess our whole being so utterly, that our lives may only be a radiance of yours.

    Shine through us, and be so in us, that every person we should come in contact with may feel your presence in our soul. Let them look up and see no longer us, but only Jesus.

    Stay with us, and then we shall begin to shine as you shine; so to shine as to be a light to others; the light, Jesus, will be all from you. None of it will be ours. It will be you shining on others through us.

    Let us thus praise you in the way you love best, by shining on those around us. Let us preach you without preaching: not by words, but by our example, by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what we do, the evident fullness of the love our hearts bear for you.

    Amen.

    Mother Teresa took this well-loved prayer poem by Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801-1890), changed the singular to plural, and prayed it every day after Communion with her Sisters, the Missionaries of Charity.
