One More Prayer

God, Father of all mankind,
King, ruler of the world
Gave to his apostles dear,
lands, each to their own just care
James in his own land of Spain,
Shines out with a holy flame

*First amongst Apostles now!
Martyred at Jerusalem!
James became the holiest
by illustrious martyrdom!

Lo! James's Galicia calls out for our pious toil,
Marching on the holy way, road over her glorious soil.
Blending all our prayers in one harmony of endless song:
To Lord St James! To God's St James!
And Onward! And Upward! God speed our way!

A Pilgrim Blessing

I would like to share a short pilgrim blessing for all to enjoy!

Bendicion del Peregrino
Busca La Paz y Camina Tras Ella
A ti, peregrino de inmortalidad, que ya estas en el camino. Que el amor y la Paz de Dios te acompanen siempre. Y que docil a Su Voz, pases por la tierra sembrando el bien. Amen.

(Loosely translated)
A Pilgrim Blessing
Look for Peace and Walk towards it
To you, immortal pilgrim, that is already on the path. That the love and peace of God always accompany you. And that obedient to His voice, may you go throughout the world planting goodness.
