MARY, OUR MOTHER

CHAPTER XXVII: TWO HEARTS OF WIT & WISDOM

For many years ARCHBISHOP FULTON J. SHEEN visited New Orleans, LA in a yearly "forum" held at the auditorium to packed audiences. It was in 1948, I believe, when he gave his first presentation.
The subject:

"God Has a Sense of Humor."

Bishop Sheen developed this topic as only Fulton J. Sheen could develop it!

For instance, the occasion of the marriage feast at Cana. Imagine the pros and cons of the waiters and steward. Where did this wine suddenly come from? "It's Water--we just filled the jars with Water--. No it's Wine--taste it--it can't be--it is--!"

You can just imagine and see Jesus and Mother Mary sitting at the table, a distance away from the water-jars--no--wine-jars saying nothing, taking it all in, holding back the laughter--sitting there as if they just swallowed a canary, watching the whole procedure in happy silence. It certainly must have tickled their funny-bone. . .

One can see again and again--sort of reading between the lines--of the Scriptures, indeed God has a sense of humor! - - -
