A new pastor was blessing the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door. When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10." Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked."

Dear Friends,

Our Redemptorist press up here is called "Redeemer's Voice."

One of our priests, Father Nebesny (literally translated this means "Heavenly Father") called that press and introduced himself, in Ukrainian, by saying, "This is (the) Heavenly Father (Otets Nebesny)."

The response was, "And this is the Redeemer's Voice!"

O.K., I'll go do something useful now . . .

Alex
