a good nun story

Today's NYT has a heartwarming nun story this Christmas Eve about a jeans wearing nun and a homeless man.

This Christmas, Johnny, whose real name is John Carbonell, will emerge from his cave and walk to Ogden Avenue. There, he will meet Sister Lauria Fitzgerald, who has looked after the homeless in the Bronx for nearly two decades. Johnny will not receive help that day. He will give it. He and Sister Lauria will hop into a van and deliver food to the homeless. .. They have come to rely on each other and to trust each other, the man in the cave and the Catholic nun in the Bronx.

Happy Christmas Eve to my bloggy friends!
