    There was once a priest who was very bad. With this priest lived another priest who was very good. One day the bad priest was passing a man who was dying and the man asked the bad priest for Extreme Unction but he would not give it to him. When the bad priest went back to the house where he was living he locked all the doors where the good priest could not get out to anoint the sick man.
    But the good priest was inspired that there was a man lying sick by the road. He got up and he was going out the door when suddenly all the doors flew open by themselves, and the good priest anointed the man. That was a miracle worked by God.
