While doing relief work in India I met Abdul. He was old, crippled and blind. He had been a college professor and spoke perfect English. His mind was sharp and clear, and he taught me much about India. Near the end of my stay I asked, 'Abdul, what could I pray for for you' A smile illuminated his face, and he sighed, 'Sister I dont know I have everything. I stood dumbfounded. This poor man, suffering terrible disfigurement, had everything Then in his beautific smile I saw his joy, his serenity, his sacred calm. And I knew what Jesus meant when he told us, 'Blessed are the poor in spirit.' For, wanting nothing, Abdul had that peace which passes all understanding.
