About 'hurting' others

Perhaps, every time we hurt or offend another, 
it is like a theft. 
We rob others, 
in some way or another, 
of their store of peace, joy, happiness.

About entering the shrine of St James at Santiago de Compostela

While watching the end of the film, "The Way" recently,
as the four 'pilgrims' stood at the door of the Cathedral,
I felt their sense of wonder and awe
and this phrase came into my mind:

When entering a holy place,
it is as though you are about
to touch the face of God.
