Our way is made by others. September 7, 2025.

Every year thousands of pilgrims travel the Camino de Santiago, a route in Spain that leads to the burial site of St. James. This week, Pastor Mia explains how walking a path such as the Camino is a reflection of the spiritual journey. By making a physical journey we learn that our way is made by others.

The Camino de Santiago was built by others. Some people dedicated their lives to developing the route. Others posted signs marking the route for pilgrims. Others laid pavers to show which way to walk when there was a fork in the road. And others built stone bridges for crossing streams and rivers.

Like those others who made the way for pilgrims to travel the Camino, others made the way for our spiritual life. Today we have Scriptures, because our our ancestors in faith wrote about their experiences with God. Traditions, including Sunday worship and communion, were also handed down by our spiritual ancestors. And the prophets set the example of being faithful even under pressure.

There are others who make our way in faith. Who made the way for you? And how are you making the way of faith for those who follow?
