" The gods, Pen was reminded yet again, didn’t value people by the same measures people did.  The great-souled and the great saints weren’t found only among great men, or even very often so.  Of course, the humble were more numerous to start with.  Would it be possible to do some sort of holy head-count, and determine if blessedness was evenly distributed?  Maybe not; the high were much better recorded than the low.  Maybe no merely human eyes were fit to see why the god had so valued this daughter of His. "
