Lumber Being devout Catholics, it had become a family-tradition for the Pedro Gonzales' family to attend Mass and receive communion at Easter. After much coaxing from his family, Pedro finally agreed to go to confession, in order to join the family in preparing for the Church's special celebration. After the preliminary prayers of the,"Bless me Father for I have sinned", Pedro confessed to a litany of innocuous sins. In conclusion, Pedro confessed that he worked in a lumber-yard and had been stealing lumber. The priest's ears perked up and asked for additional details. Pedro reluctantly admitted that during the years, he had taken enough lumber home from the yard to build an extra room to his house, a 2-car garage and a gazebo. The priest harshly admonished him, informing him that this was a serious crime. He said that he would have to punish him severely and ordered him to pray 12 Our Fathers and 12 Hail Marys. The priest added that Pedro should also make a Novena. "You know what a Novena is, doN'T you?" the priest inquired. Pedro eagerly responded, "No, Father, but if you give me the plans, I know where I can get the lumber!" |
