YOU BECOME WHAT YOU PRETEND
A thief disguised himself as a monk in order to enter a nunnery and let his accomplices in at night, but the sisters mistook him for a real holy man and began to wash his feet. When the same washwater then cured a paralyzed nun after it was used to wash her, the sisters began to importune the man for his blessing, even when he revealed that he was a fraud. Overcome by their sincerity, he decided to take holy orders (The Converted Brigand, in J. Wortley, A Repertoire of Byzantine Beneficial Tales, no. 861).
