179/499 … the Peace of Love (10/01/08)

This particular pilgrim was especially inspiring. He spoke only Spanish, but we communicated enough to know that even though he had suffered a stroke (he walked with a severe limp and couldn’t really use his left arm), he had already walked all the way to Santiago, and was now walking all the way back home!

“Once the leap of Faith is made,

the Peace of Love becomes self-perpetuating.”
