Among the many famous personalities along the way, are particularly close encounter with his father Enriquez. We had met during the journey between LogroƱo and Ventosa, under one makeshift shelter to wear his cloak to shelter from the rain, who meanwhile had begun to decline.
We then reviewed the evening in a remote inn here at Ventosa. So we got to exchange a few words with him. He told of how he became a Father of the Order of Santo Domingo and How to tackle the Camino de Santiago, the power of prayer and as a result of his illness has been applied to the tracheotomy. He spoke with difficulty, but that problem had not discouraged to tell all the people he meets his life experience. It 'a character who did the walk it will definitely met because for him, the road is his home.
Enriquez me a prayer that brought to mind during my journey of conversion has helped me a lot. The origin of the prayer, some, go back to St. Francis of Assisi. Now, remember, seemed empty words, unheard. But then as they remained faithful in their reading, guided my spiritual growth. Like a precious gift you want to donate in the hope that you too can receive the gifts requested in the prayer itself.
Lord
in the silence of this day is born,
I ask peace, wisdom, strength:
want to look Today the world with eyes full of love;
be patient, understanding, gentle and wise
see beyond appearances;
your children as you see them for yourself
and see that only the good of everyone.
Close my ears to slander
restrains my tongue to slander,
only thoughts that dwell in my spirit, blessing;
that I am so loving and joyful
that all the people I meet
feel your presence
to cover up your beauty,
oh Lord,
and that on this day I will reveal.
Ultreya!
