A Lenten challenge

During his homily this weekend my pastor challenged his parishioners to put one dollar in the rice bowl every time they found themselves gossiping, judging others or failing to forgive others.

One parishioner said, "We'll either stop gossiping or all be broke." Another parishioner said, "Father, I don't think the rice bowl is big enough."

Even so, it's a magnificent idea.
