Service and sacrifice are recurring ideas in the story. One sort of Christian hero and demonstrator of faith is the one who serves others. Next to having a complete and totalizing love for God, the greatest Christian commandment is to love and serve one's neighbor. Many of these figures went out of their way to serve the poor whenever they could and wherever they traveled.
