11th Sunday In Ordinary Time

The story is told of a particular bishop, a prosperous, elegant, white-haired elderly gentleman who could always be counted on to utter a pious platitude or two. This bishop had a favorite answer whenever a troubled or angry person came to his door. He'd assume his finest pose and say in a concerned tone: “...and have you prayed about this, my child?” If spoken in just the right way, it silenced his questioner and the bishop was home free.
