God is never late |
| |
Therese of Lisieux tells about a criminal being executed, and he stubbornly rejected all offers of spiritual help from the prison chaplain. She was very concerned about him, and she became very determined, in prayer, to obtain some change of heart before he died. An extraordinary thing happened that had a profound effect on her understanding of God's love and mercy. Just before he was blindfolded, and placed beneath the guillotine, he snatched the crucifix from the chaplain's hands, and kissed it reverently. He continued to clutch it, as he was put into position, and the blade fell. It is never too late for God.
