trenČIN:

I met you 20 years ago. r. in the cleaning of God's temple. You always do it every week at the Piarists. What else are you doing, so much service, you're helping in Hospice of Mercy Sisters. You go twice a week. One day you iron the laundry, the next day you comfort and ride on the bed of the dears dependent on St. Mass. I admire you for your goodness and I am very grateful that you are in Trencin.

Quote:

I wanted to be a doctor, but I got kicked out of school in ninth grade because I went to church. Father appealed to the president. They took me back, but I could only go to high school for construction because construction workers were missing. Yesterday, Sunday, it was 20 years I went to hospice every week. One day I iron bed linen and the other I drive sick on beds when they want to go to Mass. I'm eighty-eight years old, and I was thinking about quitting. In the end, however, I said to myself that I would come to help while I could.
