Recently we visited with one our very dear priest friend. Just prior to our visit, I forwarded to him a video clip that I discovered on YouTube while searching for incense.
In conversation during our visit, Father inquired if we were familiar with “Santiago de Compostela” which was the cathedral church shown in the YouTube video clip that I had sent him. Our response was that our only familiarity was from the video clip, but we had not done any further research about it. Father then inquired if we had seen the movie The Way. He seemed surprised when we answered “no.” It was then decided that we would watch it that evening after dinner, if we could locate a copy. We immediately telephoned the local video rental store and were informed that they indeed possessed a copy available for rent. We were in luck!
THE WAY is a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends and the challenges we face while navigating this ever-changing and complicated world. The film challenges us to examine the conflict we each have within ourselves of choosing a life versus living a life. Like each pilgrim who travels the 800 kilometer trek along the Camino de Santiago or Way of Saint James, I sense that each person who views the movie with an open mind and heart experiences a message unique to one’s own life circumstances. Though the movie is interspersed with amusing scenes, I recommend having a tissue or two in hand during the movie while discerning the difference between “the life we live and the life we choose.” Buen Camino
