Quick overview The spirituality of failure: even though the Camino is a pilgrimage, people often turn it into a ‘trophy’ experience and boast about their success, avoiding any mention of failure which is much more commonplace and spiritually challenging. This book is about a botched Camino walk (The Camino Ignaciano in Spain) through injury that ironically illustrates key aspects of Ignatian Spirituality. Ignatius himself was a ‘wounded’ soldier and limped his way across Spain as he managed to turn apparent failure into a great conversion to Christ. Ignatius’ injury revealed that God had a better plan for him and letting go of control paradoxically allowed God in.

This book illustrates that same dynamic: an unexpected injury that throws everything up in the air, the struggle to let go of plans and expectations, trying to discern in difficult situations with incomplete information. It is a roadmap for those seeking to make sense of failure and reinterpret it in God’s eyes that allows for new life and meaning. The fact that this walk takes in key Ignatian sites such as Loyola, Naverette and Manresa, gives even more insight into Ignatius’ experience as alimping pilgrim.
