  1. Penal Times

    Share Share Post
    Long ago a newly ordained priest was doubtful as to whether he was rightly ordained or not. One day as he was saying Mass, a little boy was sitting beside his mother to look at the beautiful child on the Altar. The mother thought it was his imagination, but he kept on saying it. After Mass the mother told the priest of it. He knew then he was rightly ordained.
