Yesterday I was speaking to an elderly patient in a hospital oratory. I commented on how often I had seen him in the oratory and asked him to remember me in his prayers.
He replied: “I have nothing else to do”.
Will he ever know the impact those seven words had on me? I doubt it. Maybe I’m wrong. One way or another it doesn’t really matter.
Sensationally profound words at that moment and in that place.
Should I tell him? Probably not.
