—Acts 4:31 (NIV)

“Sr. Elena is eighty-seven years old, blind, and spends her days in a wheelchair. I didn’t notice her when I began preaching the weeklong retreat at the retirement home where she resides. But on the afternoon of the second day, she asked someone to push her to me. ‘Father, I have a secret to tell you,’ she said. I leaned over and she whispered in my ear, ‘God l-o-n-g-s to turn you into a saint!’ Her face lit up as she added, ‘If you respond to God’s yearning, you’ll be amazed at what happens.’” —Fr. Albert Haase, OFM
