What’s Yours is Ours

Loading ...At a small parish in rural New England, there lived a priest and several nuns. One day, one of the older nuns was noticing that the rugs in the church were beginning to fray. She went to the priest and told him, “Father, I believe your rugs need to be replaced soon.”
The priest thanked her for bringing it to his attention, and told her that he thought that she had been there long enough to refer to church property and ‘our’ not ‘your.’
Several days later, that same nun noticed that the hedge needed to be trimmed. She again went to the priest and told him, “Father, I’ve noticed that your . . . I mean OUR hedge needs to be trimmed.
The priest thanked her yet again for bringing something to his attention, and this time he asked her if she had seen his watch that he was missing. She said she hadn’t, but assured him she would look for it.
A few days later, the parish received word that the bishop would be coming for a visit. The entire parish was busy readying the church for his visit. On the day the bishop arrived, that same nun came down the front stairs yelling, “Father! Father! I found your watch!”
The priest said, “How wonderful, my child. Where did you find it?”
After saying hello to the bishop, the nun turned to the priest and said, “I found it under OUR bed, Father.”
