In 1522, Ignatius of Loyola, after convalescing from a grave battle injury, journeyed as a pilgrim from his Loyola home to Montserrat, Manresa, and beyond. That pilgrim journey changed his life, and his subsequent endeavors changed the Catholic Church and the world.
Thanks to painstaking work to establish a trekking trail that roughly follows Ignatius’s footsteps, modern-day pilgrims can re-create this world-changing journey. This updated official guide to the Ignatian Camino is the indispensable companion for all who want to make both the “outer” and the “inner” journey. That is, the guide includes comprehensive practical advice: when to go, where to stay, what routes to follow, and what landmarks to visit along the way. Equally important is the book’s guidance for the “inner journey,” reflections that will help each pilgrim to pray through the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius even while trekking along the landscape where Ignatius conceived these Exercises.
Ignatius overcame uncertainty and hardship to find enlightenment and peace during his pilgrimage. Today’s pilgrims will surely enjoy the same blessings.
