The priest was preparing a man
The priest was preparing a man for his long day’s journey into night. Whispering firmly, the priest said, “Denounce the Devil! Let him know how little you think of his evil!” The dying man said nothing. The priest repeated his order. Still the dying man said nothing. The priest asked, “Why do you refuse to denounce the Devil and his evil?” The dying man said, “Until I know where I’m heading, I don’t think I ought to aggravate anybody!”
