- There are not many stories told about mass or religious stories, but here is one.
Once there was a woman in Kerry and she attended mass every Sunday. She was getting old and she was thinking what was the next world like. When she went to mass first she got a big bag and put it under her bed, and she put a small stone in it for every mass she attended. She got very sick and she was thinking of all the masses she attended. At any rate she told the priest to give her confession. You have attended mass every Sunday said the priest to her.
Look under the bed and count all the stones(continues on next page)
