Modern Day Saint

How many of us relate to this example? I think it's rare...
Maria walks to and from church most days of the week and in preparation for the journey she always puts a few dollar bills in her pocket in case she runs into someone in need. It so happens that the city she was about to leave for a new home in another state has a high number of homeless people unafraid to ask for a handout. On one particular day Maria happened upon a man she has given her dollar bills to many times before and as she handed him the last one he would ever receive from her she said with all sincerity and kindness "I'll miss you." He took the dollar gratefully and smiled. As Maria left the man she looked back over her shoulder and said sweetly "Pray for me, and I will pray for you."
