Ken Gargett Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 An elderly priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of Canberra. He motioned for his nurse to come near. "Yes, Father?" said the nurse. "I would really like to see Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull before I die," whispered the priest. "I'll see what I can do, Father," replied the nurse. The nurse sent the request to them and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived. Kevin and Malcolm would be delighted to visit the priest. As they went to the hospital, Malcolm commented to Kevin ," I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images." Kevin couldn't help but agree. When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Kevin's hand in his right hand and Malcolm's hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face. Finally Kevin spoke. "Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?" The old priest slowly replied, "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." The old priest continued... "He died between two lying thieves. I would like to do the same." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
