  2. A Story

    Share Share Post
    A priest was examining the children in Catechism once. He asked one boy, when did Christ die. The boy did not know anything about it. He asked him several other questions about Christ, but he did not answer them. The priest left the school, and went to the boys mothers house. He said to the mother. "Your son is very backward at School. I asked him, when did Our Lord die, and he did not know it." The mother clapped her hands and said "You dont tell me Father, he's dead. Devile word, we heard about it, because, we don't get the paper but seldom."
