Day 5 of Walking - June 18, 2026
Portuguese Camino
Caldas de Reis- Padron - 15.8 miles
My Lord God, I
have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know
for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I
think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I
believe that the desire to please you
does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if
I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about
it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the
shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
-Thomas Merton
