"Go forth and preach the Gospel"

Today the Gospel of John weaves together a variety of images of earth and heaven. John talks about the person who is “earthly” and who speaks of “earthly things.” Then John writes that the One who comes from heaven reigns above all. Of course, John is writing about Jesus.

John then reiterates that Jesus is “the One above all.” Jesus testifies to the truth. However, John also writes that no one accepts Jesus’ testimony! However, if we do believe in Jesus and accept His testimony, we certify that God is trustworthy.

Our belief in Jesus also comes with a responsibility. We are called to proclaim the Gospel by our words and more importantly, by our deeds. We have to live our faith, not simply profess our faith in Jesus.

Just as Jesus commissioned His disciples to “Go forth and preach the Gospel,” Jesus also sends us forth to live the Gospel and to preach the Gospel in word and deed. This is our call, our challenge and our gift! How will we respond? Will we go forth and spread the Gospel by word and example? Jesus is depending on us!

Chris will walk 11 miles from Caldas de Reis to Padron today.

The scallop shells guide the pilgrims on their way. The shell’s lines represent the many different Camino routes across Europe, all converging at Santiago de Compostela.

Please remember her and all the pilgrims in your prayers.

The Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage (Camino de Santiago) is an ancient network of routes leading to the shrine of St. James in Galicia, Spain. Pilgrims use a "Credencial" (passport) to collect daily stamps (at least two per day) on the journey to prove they have travelled the route.

Saint James is the Patron Saint of Spain and, according to tradition, what are believed to be his remains are held in Santiago de Compostela. He was one of the 12 Apostles and one of the first to be martyred.

Many legends and myths surround the origin of the scallop shell’s connection to Saint James and the Camino. One story says Saint James saved a knight who rose from the sea covered in scallop shells. Another version tells of a knight’s horse falling into the ocean and resurfacing, covered in shells as Saint James passed by. These tales helped establish the shell as a lasting spiritual emblem of the pilgrimage.
