SHORT BUT SWEET: The woman and her husband were at a group Reconciliation service in their parish. Because they were so frail, they went into the confessional together, and the woman tearfully admitted to the priest that she had shoplifted a can of peaches. The priest gently asked how many peaches were in the can. She sobbed and replied “Nine”. The priest said that for her penance she would have to say nine Rosaries, “one for each peach.” Just then the woman’s husband spoke up. “Father”, he said, “she also stole a can of peas!”.
