True Lent

[kl7jw 1]

Each Friday night after work, Boudreaux would fire uphis 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."
