At
the end of his sermon Father O'Briain turned to his listeners and said:
"Now, let me ask you. Which of you thinks truly he is bound for Paradise?
Would you please stand?" He was pleased to note that nearly all of
his parishioners stood up.
"That's
good," he exclaimed. "But now, let me ask you. Which of you
thinks he is bound for Hell? Would you stand?"
After
a few seconds, Jock Burke slowly got to his feet, and remained standing
as the priest eyed him with sadness.
Afterwards,
as the worshippers filed out, Father O'Briain pulled Jock aside and asked
him, "Now, Jock, what is it that makes you fear you're bound for Hell?"
To which he responded, "O, Father, I have no fear for my own outcome,
but I did feel sorry for you standing up there all by yourself.
