‘The right ingredients can create a legend!’ – Coco Chanel
At the end of the ninth ‘novena’ Mass in Santo Domingo de la Calzada’s cathedral, the young priest who had delivered the sermon with great oratory said, ‘ Do everything with love. After all, a home meal always tastes better than what we’ll buy outside when it’s made with love.’
Is not love one of the active ingredients of the Camino? There’s the act of self-love to wisely walk a challenging path. Then, there’s the love received from fellow pilgrims and hospitalero/as who encourage us on our way. Then, there’s our love that we put out into the world.
What did you find to be, or do you find to be, the active ingredients of the Camino? Perhaps:
Undertaking a daily ritual
Reconnecting with the rhythms of nature and the outdoors
Attending a pilgrim Mass
Recognising discomfort is part of the journey
The importance of spending time alone
Being of service
Letting the ‘Camino provide’
