Have a terrific Thursday Conor :)
Good morning, Conor.
Ben Bulben sounds like a descriptive name for that formation. Ben Bulben out of the ground. LOL!
I know, it’s a duh, but someone had to say it.
What a beautiful place, Conor! I would LOVE to visit Ireland someday!
So beautiful, Conor!
A CATHOLIC STORY
On a vacation in Rome, I noticed a marble column in St. Peter’s with a
golden telephone on it. As a young priest passed by, I asked who the
telephone was for. He told me it was a direct line to Heaven, and if
I’d like to call, it would be a thousand dollars. I was amazed, but
declined the offer.
Throughout Italy, I kept seeing the same golden telephone on a marble
column. At each, I asked about it and the answer was always the same:
a direct line to Heaven and I could call for a thousand dollars.
On the way homeward, I stopped in Ireland . I decided to attend Mass
at a local village church. When I walked in the door I noticed the
golden telephone. Underneath it there was a sign stating: “DIRECT LINE
TO HEAVEN 25 cents.”
“Father,” I said, “I have been all over Italy and in all the
cathedrals I visited, I’ve seen telephones exactly like this one. But
the price is always a thousand dollars. Why is it that this one is
only 25 cents?”
The priest smiled and said, “Ah! But you’re in Ireland now! It’s a local call.”
