The Hesitant Penitent

A friend suggested I repeat the tale of the fellow who made a pilgrimage to the shrine of Ste. Anne de Baupre in Quebec. While there he was going up a steep stairs on his knees. Ahead of him was a woman doing the same and the hem of her dress was caught in the heel of her shoe. She asked her fellow pilgrim if he would loosen the entanglement and he replied "Not me, lady! It's for doing THAT that I'm doing THIS.
Mea maxima culpa!
