Category: Ecumenical Stories SISTERS OF MERCY

A man was driving down a deserted stretch of highway when he noticed a sign out of the corner of his eye. It read:

SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION - 10 MILES.

He thought it was just a figment of his imagination and drove on without second thought. Soon, he saw another sign which said:

SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION - 5 MILES.

Suddenly, he began to realize that these signs are for real. Then he drove past a third sign saying:

SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION NEXT RIGHT.

His curiosity got the best of him and he pulled into the drive. On the far side of the parking lot was a somber stone building with a small sign next to the door reading:

SISTERS OF MERCY.

He climbed the steps and rang the bell. The door was answered by a nun in a long black habit who asked:

“What may we do for you, my son?”

He answered:

“I saw your signs along the highway and was interested in possibly doing business.”

“Very well, my son. Please follow me.”

He was led through many winding passages and was soon quite disoriented. The nun stopped at a closed door and told the man:

“Please knock on this door.”

He did as he was told and it was answered by another nun in a long habit, holding a tin cup. The nun instructed:

“Please place $50 in the cup, then go through the large wooden door at the end of this hallway.”

He got $50 out of his wallet, placed it in the nun’s cup, trotted eagerly down the hall and slipped through the door, pulling it shut behind him. As the door locked behind him, he found himself back in the parking lot, facing another small sign:

GO IN PEACE, YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREWED BY THE SISTERS OF MERCY.
