2 Kevins

My day was to arrange participation in the Vatican Holy Week liturgies.  So I was dressed in my clerics.  I went and was turned away from the office.  As I left a young man in a collar came along and I asked if he could help me.  His name was Kevin from Austin, Texas!!  He proceeded to get me in and at least get my name on the list.  Wow!  As I was walking home a young man approached me to buy a bracelet.  When I said no, he responded, "Father, do you know how hard it is?"  He proceeded to tell me his endless search and seeming failure to make progress in his life.  I listened and listened and responded as well as I could.  I gave him a few euros and as I turned to leave, I asked his name.  He said, "Kevin".
