TRUE LENT
Each Friday night after work, Boudreaux would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak. But, all
of Boudreaux's neighbors were Catholic...and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on
Friday. The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful
that they finally talked to their priest.
The Priest came to visit Boudreaux, and suggested that
he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Boudreaux attended Mass...and as the priest sprinkled holy water
over him, he said, "You were born a Baptist,and raised a Baptist, but now you are a Catholic."
Boudreaux's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison filled the neighborhood.
The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors, and, as he rushed into Boudreaux's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in
amazement. There stood Boudreaux, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted: "You wuz born a
deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you is a catfish."
