âPerfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice.â (Proverbs 27:9) A thought came to me the other day about how many people I have met over the years who have the same names as saints. Again, I am not Catholic, but as I have said before, I taught in a Catholic school, years ago, as a young woman. I was especially fond of one of the nuns who spoke to me about the saints, especially St. Anthony. Yes, I know a very nice man by the name of Anthony. There is my friend Rita, who has been my friend for more than 33 years; Charlotte Ann, my friend of 51 years; Nicholas (I have known two) very caring men in my life, and one I dearly, dearly love, my son, and John, who I have only talked to on the phone recently. A stranger that was especially kind.
