He
Prayed the Rosary
He
Prayed the Rosary
Over a hundred years
ago, a university student found himself seated in a train by the
side of a person
who seemed to be a well-to-do peasant. He was praying the rosary
and moving the
beads in his fingers.
“Sir, do you still believe in such outdated
things?” asked the student of the old man.
“Yes I do. Do you not?”
asked the old man.
The student burst out into laughter and said, “I do not believe in such silly things. Take
my advice.
Throw the rosary out through this window and learn what science has to
say
about it.”
“Science? I do not understand this
science? Perhaps you can explain it to me,”
the
man said humbly
with some tears in his eyes.
The student saw that the man was deeply moved. So to avoid
further hurting the
feelings of the
man, he said, “Please
give me your address and I will send you some
literature to
help you on the matter.”
The man fumbled inside pocket of his coat and gave the boy his
visiting card. On
glancing at the
card, the student bowed his head in shame and became silent.
On the card he read:
“Louis
Pasteur,
Director
of the Institute of Scientific Research,
Paris, France.”
