Priestly duties are never done, especially on Sunday’s
Father O’Riely and father O’Brien
Father O’Brien.
Yes father O’Riely.
It’s such a lovely day today; can’t we cancel mass and go for a walk instead?
Yes I must admit father O’Riely that would be nice.
But if we don’t turn up to mass, Cardinal O’Shey will get very angry and we may both be out of a job.
Now come on father O’Riely, back to the grin stone. Head down, we can go for a walk another day.
