Day 3 of Walking - June 15, 2026
Portuguese Camino
Arcade to Pontevedra- 9.22 miles
One of the invitations to the group was to catch a rhythm of prayer during our time together. I loved getting to room with Brooke and Erika, and we tried to say morning and evening prayer each day together from Padraig O'Tuama's book Daily Prayer. I'd usually find someone to pray midday prayer with me as we were hiking.

One of Erika’s prayer practices was to pick a couple of flowers, assign a person to each one, and then pray for those people as she walked. I loved this simple ritual and was grateful to join her in it each day along the Camino. It became a meaningful way to carry others with us in prayer as we journeyed.

Brooke, Erika, Emily, and Hannah (these were the wonderful women I got to mentor on the trip. It was a gift to walk alongside them, and the mentoring certainly went both ways—I learned so much from all of them and they brought me so much joy.)
