The Silver Cross

As a little side story that might not interest readers, but is a source of wonder to me is how I have managed to hold on to a silver cross for nearly four years, despite having "lost" it several times. A tiny little thing that clips on to my shirt pocket, I bought it shortly after my conversion and have worn it nearly every single day since.

I lost it again while preaching in the Church in Poona, and though the probability of finding it was slim - it really is a very small cross, I asked the parish priest to see if he could get somebody to look for it. The next morning, he called saying the cross had been found! It cost me more than ten times the price of the cross to pick it up, but it was worth it.
