FROM MY HEART TO YOUR HEART – An “Idiot” Old Man Reciting His Rosary
– Brought to you by Fr. Bernardino Andrade
A train was racing for Paris.
In one of its compartments two men sat opposite each other. The first was a young medical research student who was bored by the long journey. The other was an old man reciting his rosary with closed eyes.
The young researcher began to ridicule the old man for his superstitious beliefs. He then went on to tell of the wonders of medical science. The old man just nodded, smiled and continued his prayer in spite of the humiliating comments of his fellow passenger.
When they reached the Paris station, the old man enquired where the youngster was going. The young man proudly announced that he was going to attend a lecture by the world famous scientist, Louis Pasteur. The old man took out a visiting card from his pocket, gave it to the young man and bid him farewell.
The card read:
« Dr. Louis Pasteur
Academy of Science
Paris »
God loves you and so do I,
Fr. Bernardino Andrade
