Divine Mercy Part 61

When the same poor people come to the gate a second time, I treat them with greater gentleness, and I do not let them see that I know they have been here before;[I do this] in order not to embarrass them. And then they speak to me freely about their troubles and needs.

Although Sister N. tells me that is not the way to deal with beggars, and slams the door in their faces, when she is not there, i treat them as my master would. Sometimes more is given when giving nothing, than when giving much in a rude manner.
