"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. For years, I've been stealing building supplies from the lumberyard where I work."
"How much did you take?"
"Enough to build my own house and my son's house. And houses for our two daughters and our cottage at the lake."
"This is very serious. I'll have to think of a far-reaching penance for you. Have you ever done a retreat?"
"No, Father, I haven't. But if you have the blueprints, I can get the lumber."
