They traveled to the Vatican accompanied by the Archbishop of Compostela and the Guanellian Fathers who assist travelers at the end of the pilgrimage.
The Pope met with a large group of Italian pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. They were accompanied by the Archbishop of Santiago and the Guanelli Fathers, who have been caring for walkers on this spiritual journey for years.
The Pope reflected on the inner experience of making the Camino.
POPE FRANCIS
The pilgrimage is made by re-reading the path that Jesus took, to the extreme gift of self. The path is all the more true, all the more Christian, the more it leads us to go out from ourselves and give ourselves freely, in the service of our neighbor.
Pope Francis said he was pleasantly surprised to see the high number of pilgrims who walked to Santiago in the last 30 years and remembered his predecessors, John Paul II and Benedict XVI, who were also in Compostela. Among those present was also the Archbishop of Santiago.
