He Will Understand Everything!
He Will Understand Everything!
Humor
A new priest in the diocese was assigned to a parish with a large German-speaking population (typical in MN about 50 years ago). The previous priests apparently did not know German but this new priest had taken it in high school and college and understood it pretty well.
The first time he got in the confessional there a woman came in, sat behind the screen, and began reciting her sins in German. He responded in perfect German.
There was a L O N G silence. After she finished her confession, she popped around the screen. “You know German, Father?” “Ja wohl” (Yes, indeed) “Did you understand every word I said?” “Yes, I did.”
She left quickly and the priest heard her up and down the line warning the penitents “This priest knows German! Really! He’s going to understand everything you tell him!”
