  1. I heard my mother telling a story she heard from her grandmother, about a man, who was on one knee in the chapel on a Sunday morning, hearing Mass, the devil came behind him, and hit him a slap on the back of his head and said "if God did as much for me, as He did for you, I would go down on my two knees, when hearing Mass."
