Born
a Lutheran
Each Friday night after work, Ole would fire up his outdoor grill on
the shore
of Big Stone Lake and cook a venison steak. But, all of Ole's neighbors
were
Catholic... And since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat
on
Friday.
The
delicious aroma from
the grilled venison steaks wafted over Ortonville all the way to
Clinton, and
was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally
talked
to their priest.
The
Priest came to visit
Ole, and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and
much
study, Ole attended Mass.....and as the priest sprinkled holy water
over him,
he said, "You were born a Lutheran, and raised a Lutheran, but now you
are
a Catholic."
Ole's
neighbors were
relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of
grilled
venison filled the neighborhood. The Priest was called immediately by
the
neighbors and, as he rushed into Ole's yard, clutching a rosary and
prepared to
scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.
There
stood Ole,
clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled
over the
grilling meat and chanted: "You vuz born a deer, you vuz raised a deer,
but now you is a walleye."
