Father Murphy​

Father Murphy woke up Sunday morning and realizing it was an exceptionally

beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play golf. He told the

Associate Priest that he was feeling sick and persuaded him to say Mass for him

that day.

The moment the Associate Priest left the room, Father Murphy headed out of

town to a golf course about forty miles away. This way he knew he wouldn’t

accidentally meet anyone he knew from his parish.

Setting up on the first tee, he thrilled at having got away with it. He was completely

alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church!



Completely transfixed as they watched him tee up from the heavens, Saint Peter

leaned over to the Lord and exclaimed "You're not going to let him get away with

this, are you? " The Lord sighed, and said, "No, I guess not.”

Just then Father Murphy hit the ball. It shot straight towards the pin, dropping just

short of it, rolled up and fell into the hole. It was a 420 YARD HOLE IN ONE!

St. Peter was astonished. He looked over at the Lord and asked, “Why did you

let him do that?"

The Lord smiled and replied, "Who's he going to tell?”
