A joke: two theologians walk into a bar …
One says, “God does this.”
The other says in reply, “He certainly does.”
…
I remember when I told my mother no.
Do you make me or do I make you? I asked Her.
She told me to put my nose in the corner.
So I asked my priest; he told me to ask God.
“I already asked Him,” I said.
“Then wait and listen.”
So I listened.
I remember when they taught us to pray.
“God speaks to you,” said one teacher.
“He certainly does,” said the other.
So very quietly I waited and listened. I concentrated on the silence and waited patiently for Him to speak. Until finally, I heard the voice! Alleluia, I heard the voice. Through tears of joy I said, “It’s so great to meet you maker of worlds. I have so many questions.” And I asked, and He answered. All day and night I asked for weeks and He answered, until I had no more questions except one.
I asked, “Who are you?”
It was silent.
I asked again, “Who am I?”
“You are.”
“I am?”
