"Pilgrims"asking for money

Why not "pay it forward"

The idea described in http://www.coffeesharing.com/ could be practiced along the Camino as well for pilgrims in need.

I see that I may have misguided some pilgrims regarding my last post. I am not looking for monetary help but I am looking for spiritual. I am in need of love, hope, guidance and fellowship. So this is why I will be walking the Camino. So as I said earlier from what I have been reading the Camino gives to us all and we all take from it. The guidance or help comes in many forms and is needed differently by each of us. Some of us need money, so we must give and some of us need other types of help. So when and if you see me along the way please help me. I will be the one God willing with a smile on my face, a hop in my step and a attitude of thankfulness.
Buen Camino to us all.

This is a really lovely idea. Thank you.

I think we all get a real buzz out of doing something that makes a difference (in a good way) for another.

I had a rush of pleasure yesterday when paying the bill for someone who bought up big at the local bakery only to find he'd left his wallet at home (with the visitors and wife all waiting for their breakfast croissants). We agreed he would pay me back by depositing the money in the "pay it forward" jar.

The human difficulty comes when we have negative feelings attached - if we feel we've been abused in some way. I admit to that sometimes when doing pro-bono work.
