A bishop goes to visit one of his priests who is in hospital.
The bishop notices all the medical equipment attached to the priest and kneels by his bed to pray.
The sick priest motions to a pad and pen on the side table. The bishop hands the priest the pad and pen, who then begins to write very fast. But just as he hands the note to the Bishop, the priest dies.
The Bishop quickly puts the note in his pocket and runs from the bedside to get help, unaware that the priest has expired.
At the priest’s funeral, the bishop delivers the service and solemnly says, “I was with him when he took his last breath, and as a matter of fact, I have his last thought in my pocket here.”
The bishop pulls out the paper and reads, “Please, get up. You’re kneeling on my oxygen hose.”
