Is It You Again?
Kathleen Norris writes in Dakota: A Spiritual Geography of a story that’s said to come from a Russian Orthodox monastery:
A seasoned monk, long accustomed to welcoming all guests as Christ, says to a young monk, “I have finally learned to accept people as they are. Whatever they are in the world, a prostitute, a prime minister, it is all the same to me. But sometimes,” the monk continues, “I see a stranger coming up the road and I say, “Oh, Jesus Christ, is it you again?”
