We attach a chronicle sent by
a girl from Club Prado, from Mexico
In July 2023 we contacted
Jordi to help us plan Saint Josemaría's journey through the Pyrenees and from
there our adventure began; He presented us with different routes, adjusted to
the time we had. We chose a small plan: Pallerols, Peramola, Casa del Corb,
general view of La Ribalera. Everything seemed incredible to us, just thinking
that we would walk where our Father and his companions walked, in disadvantaged
conditions.
On July 29 we started our
excursion. First stop, Oliana; there we were received by Ramón, one of the
promoters of the Camino de Andorra, who guided us to the church and rectory of
Pallerols. There we were able to see the place where Saint Josemaría spent the
painful night of November 21-22, 1937, and the place where he found -in the
church- the Stewed Rose, a sign with which God indicated the path to follow.
We settled in the refuge and
the rectory, prepared a lunch and started our way to the Saint Raphael Cabin.
We walked for half an hour until we came to the cabin, the place where Saint
Josemaría spent 5 days waiting to leave for Andorra. We were able to enter the
cabin and later Ramón told us what Saint Josemaría had experienced during those
days.

Our second stop was in
Peramola from where we headed to Casa del Corb. The road implied the ascent of
a slope, for us pronounced, and we made an effort to walk it; some had to take
a short break but finally we all reached the rock of Corb's house; a spectacular
place. Going down a bit we could see the Ribalera, where Saint Josemaría
celebrated his last mass before arriving in Andorra. It was worth the effort
and the exhaustion.
In this place, Ramon told us
about Saint Josemaría's journey until he reached Andorra. We were impressed by
contemplating the journey that -during 5 nights- Saint Josemaria and his
companions made, without adequate equipment, in the dark and hidden.

Estoy muy agradecida de haber podido vivir en la casa donde estuvo san Josemaría y sus siete acompañantes, pensar que pudieron vivir esos días con la ilusión de hacer el Opus Dei a pesar de tanto sufrimiento; y para mi lo más significativo fue poder rezar donde san Josemaría tuvo la señal, una rosa estofada tirada en el suelo, para seguir el camino y cruzar a la zona donde podía ejercer su ministerio sacerdotal en libertad |

Yo le tengo muchísimo cariño a san Josemaría. Tuve varias dificultades económicas para poder viajar hasta Barcelona pero finalmente pude hacer este viaje; ya se ve que fue la voluntad de Dios que estuviera ahí, siguiendo los pasos de san Josemaría, sentirlo tan cerca, sentir todo el amor y confianza con que recorrió un camino muy duro. Se sienten todas las oraciones que nuestro Padre hacía por el Opus Dei.
Al caminar por los bosques, montañas, rocas, etc. sentí que me acompañaba Dios y san Josemaría. Es un camino arduo, pero aprendes mucho: es una gran oportunidad para mirar dentro de uno mismo, para conocer a los demás y conocer a Dios. Está muy cañón, pude ver la gracia que Él nos dio a mi grupo y a mí: a pesar del cansancio, continuábamos caminando, éramos capaces de caminar alegres, sin quejarnos.
