Today, the Lord brought some very special people into my life. I am always truly grateful to Jesus, for he has abundantly blessed this former wretched sinner. Through Him, I have been able to become friends in Christ with a few of heaven's greatest soldiers. The Catholic couple that I met today, astoundingly, but with an incredible amount of modesty, display all that Our Lord wants us to be; they exude the Love of Christ. And, I think it extends from that greatest of virtues: humility. This all-encompassing submission to the Will of God shines forth in their love towards all those who strive for holiness. They knew some of my background, but embraced me anyway. They didn’t see the sick and perverted creature of the past, but the reborn servant of Christ. Being with them, for just a few short hours, transferred their sacred joy over to me; and to everyone around. Interestingly, once they left my store, a couple of customers, who were busily shopping, as I was saying my goodbyes, immediately came over to me and asked: “who were they?” Because, they had innocently overheard some of our conversations, and even from a distance, had been uplifted by their words to me. They remarked: “...they are so holy.” I smiled and said: “yes...they are.”
