What a beautiful event in your life! Our Lord wouldn't let you go until you showed mercy and love to that woman. And look at the reward! It's easy to talk about following Jesus and walking in the footsteps of Francis but when you open up and really do it, well, for a moment the world changes a bit...
Congratulations! And don't worry about traveling barefoot and empty-handed. I spent a decade doing that. My oldest daughter, when asked what her mother did for work, would say: she travels on rickety planes to dangerous countries with no money. (And she thought I had no right, therefore, to lecture her about driving too fast.)
