"Re: Showing God's Face on the Battlefield, by John J. McLain, S.J. (11/17):

"There was once a priest ministering to wounded and dying soldiers on the battlefield during World War I.

"He came to a dying soldier to offer help.

"The man said, But Father, I don't belong to your religion.

"The priest answered, No, but you belong to my God.

"It doesn't get any better than that!"

Amen to all that, Reverend!
