There comes a time when some nagging secrets can’t be kept any
longer. So, at one of those times, a man entered the confessional, and admitted
that for years he had been stealing building materials from the building
materials company, where he works. When the priest asked, "What did you
take?" The man replied, "Father, I have taken enough to build my own
house, my son's house, and houses for our two daughters.
The priest thought for a moment, and then said, "This
is very serious. I shall have to think of a far-reaching penance, for you. Have
you ever done a retreat?" And the man responded, "Oh no, Father, I
haven't. But if you can get the plans, I can get the materials."
