"God," he prayed. "My prayer is that you make me a better
person, more willing to do the right thing and not ask for
anything for myself."

"Sister Mary Grace is one of our fine young nuns," said the
Mother Superior. "It's so hard these days to find young
women with a true vocation."
They watched the sweet-faced if not exactly pretty young
woman working with the children in their wheelchairs. She
seemed to radiate peace and love and the kids understood
and responded with laughter and with effort bent to their
lessons.
"I guess I had all of our nuns praying for weeks for just
such a person as Sister Mary Grace to show up and take this
position," the Mother Superior went on. "Sometimes God does
grant prayers in just the way you wanted Him too."
The old priest nodded and smiled. Sister Mary Grace truly
was a miracle, just when they needed someone so calm and so
willing and so able. And so full of God's love and her own
faith in God. He walked away musing quietly to himself.
The young nun had told him sweetly in her latest
confession, "I think God chose me especially for my tasks.
Is that pride, Father? Should I pray that God take that
away? I used to be a very different person before... before
my calling and getting this job with the children is more
than a prayer answered, it's all my prayers answered!"
"If you think it's pride, dear, perhaps it is," he had
answered. One of the seven deadly sins, he had chosen a
mild penance for her and she rejoiced in it and went
willingly, eagerly to expiate her sin.
He turned away from contemplating the young nun at her work
and made his way carefully to the little priory, the
parsonage his parishioners had built for him with their own
hands. Forty years a parish priest, he knew he could look
forward to retirement in a few years but that would likely
mean leaving his comfortable cottage on the church grounds.
Inside, he removed his hat and coat and collar and knelt
beside the little table where he did his studying before
writing his sermons. "I'll have to confess to envy of the
little nun in my own next confession," he told himself.
Making the sign of the cross and bowing his head he prayed
as he had prayed for more than fifty years. "God, make me a
better person, more willing to do the right thing and not
ask for anything for myself."
