St. Jean Pied de Port: The decision to leave

One of the great moments of a journey, is that of Santiago, is one of faith surely the decision to leave . Looking back toward the past, and understand that " at the moment" have precise started to get up and walk. "That moment" may be a religious experience for each of us stronger, something happened that marked our lives, a moral injury, a personal drama, testimony, or a mere curiosity.

The pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, was for me, a missing link to a journey that had begun twenty years ago, when during a football game with my dying friend, Ezio. This tragedy upsets the balance of all that I set in my life.

We can say that my mood could be summarized in a song that perhaps many of you know: One day you think you are Edoardo Bennato

One day you think you are right
and being a great man
you wake up in another
and you have to start from scratch.
situations that are repeated wearily

timeless music for a few friends,
as three years ago.
At this point you have to leave
here the struggle is harder but you
if you take a thrashing
insist more.
're stubborn, that's for sure,
then you can still save
put all the strength you have in your
fragile nerves.
When you get up and you feel destroyed
made under and meets your day
not retrace your steps
usually enough for a moment.
While you're in the absurd person
and you see already old and dilapidated
tell all the people
your fake accident.


God that day, I reached , like Christ, when he walked next to the disciples of Emmaus incognito. The Lord has not told me his name, only accompanied me in my research, I helped deepen the last questions, those that can not be answered. It helped me to broaden the horizon of my life, taught me to trust myself, openness towards others, how to deal with life's problems and how to live well on this forgiving wrongs.
And now here I am, starting the Camino de Santiago, a journey can still amaze me and make my heart happy and my life.

Ultreya!

Santiago: a way of life, a journey of faith


The Road to Santiago as the journey of our life ... as the journey of faith each of us.
I heard about it before you leave, I have often pondered this thought while I walk looking for and finding many similarities. Now at home, after just over a month since our return I would like to retrace the steps trying to highlight those aspects that slowly make me aware of the grace that is received by this pilgrimage, and that turns you into the heart.
Fragments, splinters, crumbs of meditations which I wish to share with you.
What he told me the Way.

Ultreya!
