An
old Canadian priest lay dying. He sent a message
for a Canada Revenue Agency(CRA)
Supervisor and his Lawyer to come to the
hospital.
When they arrived, they were
ushered up to his room. As they entered the
room, the priest held out his hands and motioned
for them to sit on each side of the bed.
The
priest grasped their hands, sighed contentedly,
smiled and stared at the ceiling. For a time, no
one said anything.
Both the Canada Revenue
Agency Supervisor and the lawyer were touched
and flattered that the old man would ask them to
be with him during his final moments. They were
also puzzled because the priest had never given
any indication that he particularly liked either
one of them.
Finally,
the Lawyer asked, “ Father, why did you ask the
two of us to come here? “
The
old priest mustered all his strength, and then
said weakly, “Jesus died between two thieves,
and that's how I'd like to
go.”
