June 11


Once when Saint Francis of Assisi ran into a leper who was completely disfigured, he instinctively backed up. Right away he overcame the disgust he felt and kissed the face that was completely disfigured. What was the outcome of this? Francis felt himself filled with tremendous joy. He felt totally in control of himself.

And the leper went on his way praising God.

Mother Teresa: In My Own Words, p 22
