Though this list is devoted to spiritual matters, once in a while we take

liberty of posting some humour ...........jay Vivekananda Centre London

 

 

THE HOLY PRIEST!

 

A very spiritual, devout and holy priest dies

 

and is immediately swept up to heaven.

 

 

St. Peter greets him at the Pearly Gates, and says,

 

" Hello, Father, we've been waiting for you for a long time.

 

Welcome to Heaven!

 

You are very well known here, and as a special reward,

 

because you are such a spiritual and holy man,

 

we're going to grant you anything you wish even before we enter Heaven.

 

What can I grant you? "

 

 

" Well " , the priest says,

 

" I've always been a great admirer of the Virgin Mother.

 

I've always wanted to ask her a question. "

 

 

St. Peter nods his head to one side,

 

and lo and behold who should approach the priest but the Virgin Mary!

 

 

The priest is beside himself, and he manages to say,

 

" Mother, I have always been a great admirer of yours,

 

and have studied everything I could about you

 

and followed your life as best I could.

 

I have studied every painting and portrait ever made of you,

 

and I've noticed that you are always portrayed

 

with a slightly sad look on your face.

 

I have always, always wondered what it was that made you sad.

 

Would you please tell me? "

 

 

" Well " , says Mother Mary,

 

" to tell the truth, I was really hoping for a girl. "
