“Saints were saints because they acted
with loving kindness whether they felt like it or not.”
~ Dan Millman
I recently went
to the bank shortly after closing to get cash from the ATM machine, which is
located inside the building lobby and just outside of the doors to the bank. A woman walked up to the glass doors of the
bank, which were locked, and knocked hard on them. “I have an emergency,” she said to a bank
teller who was inside. “I just need to ask you a question.” To my great surprise, the bank teller
unlocked the glass doors and talked to the woman. I don’t know what her problem was or whether
the teller was able to resolve it, but at the very least, he tried.

Today is the
feast of the Assumption. It also is the
feast of St. Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish priest who volunteered to die in the
place of another prisoner in Auschwitz in 1941.
