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
