“So, you were in fact trespassing.” “Yes.” “You believe in the cause and you believe in suffering. Jesus carried a crown of thorns. It seems to me you have nothing to complain about.” At this, Fr. Benedict just looked at me and said, “You know. You’re really right.”
I just LOVE this! Schooling about one’s own faith by someone of another. And Praise God this man was there and spoke up just when Father REALLY needed him to, needed God to!
And how beautifully respectful is it that a man of Jewish faith speaks of Jesus Christ to his Christian friend who would appreciate that kindness. Would that I should be so thoughtful.
