A priest said, "Anyone with 'special needs' who wants to be prayed over, please come forward to the front of the altar."
With that an Irish man got in line and, when it was his turn, the preacher asked, "Sean O'Reilly, what do you want me to pray for about you?"
Sean replied, "Father, I need you to pray for help with my hearing."
The priest put one finger of one hand in Sean’s ear, placed his other hand on top of Sean’s head, and then prayed and prayed and prayed.
He asked the congregation to also pray for Sean's hearing, and the whole congregation joined in with great enthusiasm.
After a few minutes the priest removed his hands, stood back and asked, "Sean, how is your hearing now?"
Sean answered, "I don't know. It’s not until next week."
