My husband and I lived and worked in Saudi Arabia for five years (Eastern Province). I loved my Saudi Muslim boss. He was one of the nicest, gentlest, fairest guys I ever met in my life.

My Catholic Indian co-worker protested when I wanted to hear Mass on Sunday mornings. He said I should to to Mass on Fridays, like the rest of the Catholics. Friday was when all the Muslims went to their weekly service at the mosque. I was adamant. So he went and "told on me."

My Saudi boss said: "Harry, God is number one. There is always time for God. She (my name) can go pray whenever she wants."

I started going to Mass every day because I could and it was comforting to me.
I have been back home in the WONDERFUL United States of AMERICA many years but STILL attend daily Mass.

Imagine, getting the daily Mass habit in Saudi Arabia because of my Saudi Muslim boss.

Does God work in mysterious ways or WHAT?!?
