SAY ‘AMEN’

 

An elderly nearsighted priest removed his glasses before making a homily even though he was practically blind without them.

 

One evening Mass, he preached and went on and on; so long, in fact, that one by one his audience left. Finally, he reached the end of his long-drawn homily and asked, “What more can I say?”

 

From the rear of the hall, a voice said, “Father, I’m the janitor. Say ‘Amen’ so I can turn off the lights, close the doors and go home now.”
