Martin Sheen (who is in fact\u00a0Spanish\u00a0– or rather Galician) has\u00a0done\u00a0a very moving movie on\u00a0the\u00a0Camino de Santiago – “The Way.” It will be released July 25 (the\u00a0Feast of St James) in a Holy Year for <\/span>the\u00a0Camino,\u00a0because\u00a0this\u00a0year the Feast of St. James falls on a Sunday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I, Deo volente \u2013 Dios mediante, will begin the Camino on September 20, and\u00a0arrive in\u00a0Santiago\u00a0on All Saints Day (La Fiesta de Todos los Santos).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the trailer<\/a>: <\/span>http:\/\/www.theway-themovie.com\/<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The plot is heart-rending: a widower loses his son, who is killed as he begins the Camino. The father resolves to walk the Camino with the ashes of his son \u2013 and learns a lot along the way.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From the memoirs I have read, the story is all too probable. The very first day of the Camino, leaving from St. Jean Pied du Port and climbing over the Pyrenees, is in fact the most dangerous, and every year someone dies.(There is an alternative route I have promised my wife I will take if the weather looks threatening).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes people walk the Camino with a sick family member to pray for healing. The family member dies on the Camino, and the survivor comes back to complete it for him. And all along the way are the crucifixes, and the pilgrims kiss the bleeding feet of Jesus, as their feet (all too often) bleed too.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
