All work and no play makes this catechist a dull boy. So I’m getting some much needed R & R!
While I’m on vacation until late July, I thought it’d be fun to share some of my favorite jokes from my books, A Well-Built Faith and The Bible Blueprint. Here’s today’s contribution:
A young, newly ordained priest noticed after a few weeks at his first parish that people were falling asleep during his homilies. Dismayed, he sought out the pastor. “Father, people are falling asleep during my homilies. What can I do?” “Well, my boy,” answered the pastor, “it’s all a matter of practice. For the next week sit in your study and practice your homily in front of a mirror, adding some gestures and varying your voice tone.” Encouraged, the young priest did as the pastor had suggested. Come Friday, the two priests were having lunch. The pastor asked, “Well, how did it go?” “I’m not sure,” replied the young priest. “I fell asleep.”
