Lending a helping hand...
I remember father helping many people in his office. In particular, I remember him guiding a young, hardworking officer named Benhur. As I help my students and others, I always hope that He appreciates the importance of his actions- these formed the value systems for his children.

"Very early in my career as a police commissioner of the city of New York I was brought in contact with Father Casserly of the Paulist Fathers. After he had made up his mind that I was really trying to get things decent in the department, and to see that law and order prevailed, and that crime and vice were warred against in practical fashion, he became very intimate with me, helping me in every way, and unconsciously giving me an insight into his own work and his own character. Continually, in one way and another, I came across what Father Casserly was doing, always in the way of showing the intense human sympathy and interest he was taking in the lives about him."
(From The Strenuous Life, Essays and Addresses of Theodore Roosevelt)
