Providence
In an old people’s home, run by the Little sisters of the Poor, one day, the cook told the
Mother Superior that there was absolutely nothing to serve for dinner… What should she
do?
“Shall I bring the dinner bell?” And when our poor come, what will they think?”
“Go and pray, Sister,” said the Mother Superior. “Be sure that God knows that our poor
need their dinner. Ring the bell at the usual time.”
The Sister hastened to the chapel to pray. The moments passed by, the dinner hour
came, she rang the bell and waited, full of fear. Just as the bell was ringing, there was a
knock at the door. It was a messenger of God, who brought the dinner to the poor.
That day, a wealthy family was about to give feast when news was brought that a son of
the house was dying in a distant city. They started off at once and, to call heaven’s favor
down on their son, they sent to the Little Sisters the entire dinner they were about to serve,
together with a quantity of bread and a generous sum of money.
The sister rushed to the Mother Superior and told her the joyful news.
