Changes in Santiago

[Elizabeth Boylston-Morris]

Hello,
I'd like to ask:
How are the reading pilgrims for the pilgrims' Mass selected?  Do they
volunteer? Must they be Catholic?
I am a regular reader at Mass in my (Episcopalian) church and I've read with
much interest the plans to have non-Spanish-speaking pilgrims read at Mass in
Santiago.
I know that occasionally Anglican priests have participated in the
officiating of the pilgrims'  Mass in Santiago, which, in my view, is
commendably ecumenical on the part of the Archdiocese; and now I am delighted
about the proposed active inclusion of all pilgrims regardless of language.
After placing my life, literally, exhileratedly  and, I think,
other-than-humanly, bicycling up and down twice from Roncesvalles to
Santiago,  I'd love to think that at the finish I might just do at the
Santiago Cathedral what I do in my own neighborhood church around the corner.
But, as so many have written here, isn't that what the Camino signifies? The
spiritual and emotional circle of life with no beginnings and no ends? A
significance beyond the obvious?
That is what the Camino has been to me, and what will again be, I am sure,
next August.
