|
A Priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in
the parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was
chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the
dinner.
However, since the politician was delayed, the Priest decided to say his own
few words while they waited.
"I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I
heard here. thought I had been assigned to a terrible place The very first person
who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when
questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it.
He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an
affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs and gave VD to his sister.
I was appalled. But as the days went, on I learned that my people were
not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and
loving people."
Just as the Priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of
apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation
and gave his talk...
"I'll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived," said the
politician. "In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for
confession."
