Story my priest told at Mass today
Went along with the parable of the prodigal son:
Peter stands at the gates to heaven with the Key in his hands ready to lock up. Everyone in the crowd entering is celebrating their entry into Heaven; everyone, that is, except Jesus. Jesus is standing just outside the gate, waiting in the shadows, looking back down the path leading to the gates.
Peter finally works up the courage and steps up next to Jesus and quietly asks, "Master? What are you doing out here?"
Without turning his head, Jesus shoulders sag a little and answers simply, "I'm waiting for Judas."
