The Mother Superior
One day John XXIII visited the Hospital of the Holy Spirit in Rome, which is administered by a religious sisterhood. The mother superior, deeply stirred by the papal visit, went up to him and introduced herself: “Most Holy Father, I am the Superior of the Holy Spirit,” she said.
“Well, I must say you’re lucky,” replied the
Pope, “I’m only the Vicar of Christ.”
