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 give a little
speech at the dinner. He was delayed so 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. I 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 stopped by the police, had almost
murdered the officer. He had stolen money from his parents,
embezzled from his place of business, 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 knew 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 give 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 one to
go to him in confession."
