One Sunday at mass, the priest tells the congregation that the church need some extra money for urgent repairs to the roof and ask the congregation to prayerfully consider giving a little more generously when the collection plate is passed around.
“Whoever gives the most will be able to pick out three hymns next Sunday.” After mass, the priest glances down and notices that someone has placed ten $100 bills on the plate. He is so excited that, on the next Sunday, he shares his joy with the congregation and says he’d like to personally thank the person who placed the money on the plate. A very quiet, elderly and saintly lady all the way up the back shyly raises her hand. The priest asks her to come to the front. Slowly, she makes her way forward.
“Bessie Braddock,” the priest says triumphantly, “your generosity is wonderful, and now, to thank you, I would like you to pick out three hymns.”
Bessie’s eyes brighten as she looks out over the congregation, before pointing to the three most handsome men in the building and says, “I’ll take him and him and him.”
