After the interview, he entered the coffee shop. His mind full of anxieties; his unemployment assistance ended, and savings shrinking. He swore, as he discovered he could not afford a cup of coffee! Suddenly, a little man with gentle eyes, dressed in a brown robe, stood next to him, offering him a cappuccino. They sat at a table, and he felt compelled to reveal his fears to this friar. The friar tells him “Trust Jesus, he will share your burdens! Open your heart!” Suddenly, he feels at peace, he sips the cappuccino, lowers his cup, and discovers he is alone!
(N.B. The cappuccino is supposed to have been named for the Capuchin friars, a branch of the Franciscan Order. The Capuchin friars’ distinctive brown habit was seen as the same color of the coffee beverage.)
Oh wow! A simple story. Great message. Angels/friars . God at work. His unseen world defies scientific explanations. Your short story displays it here. Thank you.
