St. Joan of the Cross

The downtown areas of most major cities hold a population of “street people.” Well-dressed folks usually avoid making eye contact, probably out of being asked for a handout. That was St. Joan of the Cross’s attitude until the day one of them touched her heart. Most people thought the old woman was crazy, but she put St. Joan on the road to sainthood. Who knows what the next beggar we meet might do for us?
