Portuguese Camino 

Pontevedra to Padron- 15.69 miles 

Midday Prayer
We break from the doings of our day 
And make space to notice you. 
You are always with us 
In surprising guises. 
Jesus of the flesh, we meet you in 
Worker and friend, 
Stranger and pilgrim, 
The needy and the needed, 
The questioner and the questioned. 
So when we meet you, 
May we deepen life, deepen justice 
And deepen joy. 
And when you meet us, help us approach our activities 
With presence and power, 
With love and humility, 
With courage and dignity. 
Amen. 
-Padraig O’Tuama
