Companionship/Sacrifice: A FRIEND TO THE END An Irish priest was preaching to his mission congregation concerning heaven and hell. To emphasize the difference between the two, he asked for all who wanted to go to heaven to stand up with him. All the congregation rose. He then asked for all who wanted to go to hell to stand up with him. No one rose. For full dramatic impact he waited for several seconds before continuing. The silence was broken by a small boy who slowly rose to his feet. The astonished priest spoke to the boy, “Surely son, a fine young man like yourself does not want to go to hell.” The boy answered, “Maybe not sir, but I just couldn’t stand the sight of you standing there all alone.”
