Dec. 2: Such A Shame
Title: Such A Shame
Author: fansee
Prompt: Such a shame
Father Tom and Joan Kinney stood side by side, gazing at the poinsettias and white ribbons decorating the altar. “The Altar Committee did a superb job this Christmas, Mrs. Kinney.”
“Joanie,” she corrected automatically. “Yes, they did. It’s such a shame….” Her voice trailed off.
“Such a shame?”
“Such a shame Brian won’t come to Mass on Christmas with me.”
“Have you asked him?”
“There’s no point. He’s made it very clear he won’t repent and save his soul. He’s damned in the eyes of God.”
“God works wonders. He can change minds.”
“Not Brian’s.”
Or yours, Father Tom thought.
