I got the Chalice!


Our cousin Anthony is about to become ordained as a priest and he stopped off to show us his new chalice that he just got from the chalice store. It is a beauty. It has representations of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and some rubies and a cross on it made of Amethyst.

He used to be an FBI agent but he retired and became a Priest. We are going to his first Mass in a couple of weeks before he goes down to Delaware to get his parish assignment. He is having a party where half the people will be FBI agents and the other half Mafia guys he arrested.

The wife thinks she will get a discounted penance but I wouldn't count on that.

    There is no plea bargain in Heaven.

    Personally, I'd say there's no plea bargain in Hell.

    The chalice from the palace has the pellet that is poison!

    "One chalice gives life, the other death."

    But the vessel with the pestle as the brew that is true!
