There were two brothers, 8 & 10 years old; extremely mischievous. If there was any trouble in the neighborhood, you could be sure these two had a hand in it. Their parents were at wits end trying to control them so they asked the parish priest for his assistance. He agreed to talk with the boys, but asked to see the younger boy first and alone.
The priest sat the boy down across from him at a huge and impressive desk. For five minutes they just sat and stared at each other. Finally, the priest pointed his index finger at the boy and asked. ‘Where is God?’
The little guy looked under the desk, the corners of the room, all around but said nothing. A second time, a little louder, the priest pointed at the boy and asked, ‘Where is God?’ Again the boy looked all around but said nothing.
A third time, even louder and firmer, the priest leaned across the desk and put his finger almost on the boy’s nose and asked, ‘Where is God?’ The boy panicked and ran all the way home. Finding his older brother, he dragged him upstairs and into the closet, where they usually plotted their mischief. Breathlessly, he said, ‘We’re in BIG trouble.’
'What do you mean, BIG trouble?’ asked his brother. His little brother replied,
‘God is missing, and they think we did it!’
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmahanukwanzaka...if God is missing, we really are in BIG trouble!
