Albert writes:- Who is a true Christian ? Is it one who goes for mass everyday
and prays the whole day ? I had a job to be done one day and entered an
office.It was three in the afternoon and someone pointed to a clerk whose eyes
were closed in prayer. She was a Christian and prayed everyday at three. I
waited anxiously for fifteen minutes but she would not open her eyes that means
she will not do my work and that means I will have to go home and come back
again. I got restless and shook her to wake her up. She looked at me sternly. "
What kind of a Christian are you ? " she asked me. One must pray at three for
half an hour to remember that Jesus died at that time of the day. My answer to
her was " Madam you should not pray at three but you should pray the whole day.
Take voluntary retirement and stay at home. You are not paid to pray. Many
times we judge people from outward behaviour. The true Christian is the one who
is practical in his or her life style. Simple. One day I was seated in a bank
waiting for my turn to go the cashier. I could see an elderly man entering the
bank with a walking stick in my hand. I could have got up to help him get down
the steps but I was engrossed in my own thoughts and pride. Next to me a lady
at least five six years older to me was seated. Looking at her I knew she was
not a Christian lady. She ran up the door and caught his hand brought him down
and made him sit . Asked him why he was there . He wanted to withdraw money
.She went to one counter brought a withdrawl slip filled it for him and got
the money for him. She counted the amount and helped him put it in his purse.
By the time I finished my work I saw her bring a rickshaw to help him go home .
