Dear parishioners of Holy
Family,
As many of you already know, I
will be taking a seven month sabbatical in a few weeks. I will be
attending the Pontifical North America College in Rome, Italy but before
arriving at Rome, I will be doing a 40-day spiritual walk journey in
Spain which is well known as The Way of Saint James. It is one of the
most important Christian pilgrimages during the medieval times and a
pilgrimage route on which a plenary indulges can be earned. I will be
doing the French Route which begins in Saint Jean Pied de Port. This is
the route, from the French and Spanish border, which was and still is
followed by pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela. Some of you may not be
familiar with the Basilica of Santiago de Compostela. It is believed
that St. James the Apostle’s remains were carried by boat from Jerusalem
to northem Spain where he was buried on the site of what is now the city
of Santiago of Compostela.
Since I will be walking from 7
to 9 hours a day, which will not only be physical, but also emotionally
demanding as well. I would like to ask for a favor from each one of you.
I would like you to say a prayer for me everyday and in return as a sign
of my gratitude, I would like to carry with me the names of your family
or relatives who are suffering from any kind of illness or your name if
you are the one who is ill. I will say a prayer for you as well, in
every church that I will enter in my way to St. James’ Basilica and then
when I arrive at the city of Santiago I will present your intentions at
the feet of the Apostle St. James. Also, I would like to carry with me
the names of your loved ones who are in the military service.
Thank you and God bless you!
Fr. Santos Ortega
