A certain visitor wanted to visit a local church. He found a parking spot and parked there. Another man came over to him reprimanding him, ‘Hey, that was my spot...you took my place!’ Finding another space, he then went into the church which was half empty. He found a bench which was empty and sat down to pray. A woman came from behind and told ‘Hey Mister, that is my place.’ The visitor politely stood up and moved to another bench. Three minutes later another man approached him, and again, ‘Hey buddy, that is my place you’re sitting in.’ The visitor moved again and sat down to follow the Mass. During the homily, the priest was speaking about their need to see Jesus present among them. At that moment the vistor stood up and moved into the middle aisle, and as he opend his hands, people could see the wounds on his hands, as his countenance turned very bright. One man stood up, and asked him. ‘What happened to you?’ And the visitor replied, ‘I took your place.’
