A YOUNG NUN NAMED SISTER MARY MARGARET, WHO WORKS FOR A LOCAL HOME HEALTH AGENCY WAS OUT MAKING HER ROUNDS
WHEN SHE RAN OUT OF GAS. AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT A GAS STATION WAS JUST A BLOCK AWAY.
SHE WALKED TO THE STATION TO BORROW A CAN TO START WITH AND DRIVE TO
THE STATION FOR A FILL-UP.
THE ATTENDANT REGRETFULLY TOLD HER THE ONLY GAS CAN HE OWNED HAD BEEN LOANED OUT BUT IF SHE WOULD WAIT IT WAS SURE TO BE BACK SHORTLY.
SINCE THE NUN WAS ON THE WAY TO SEE A PATIENT SHE DECIDED NOT TO WAIT
AND SHE WALKED BACK TO THE CAR.
AFTER LOOKING THROUGH THE CAR FOR SOMETHING TO FILL WITH GAS, SHE
SPOTTED A BEDPAN SHE WAS TAKING TO THE PATIENT.
ALWAYS RESOURCEFUL SHE CARRIED IT TO THE STATION, FILLED IT WITH
GASOLINE, AND CARRIED IT BACK TO HER CAR.
AS SHE WAS POURING THE GAS INTO THE TANK TWO MEN WERE WATCHING FROM ACROSS THE STREET.
ONE TURNED TO THE OTHER AND SAID, “IF IT STARTS, IM TURNING
CATHOLIC. “
