A young man confessed that he took an extra long time in the confessional because he was trying to think of sins that were more 'interesting' to confess. He ended up making up some really far - fetched things that the priest saw right through. The priest had to tell him to be honest and just confess the real things he had done wrong, which was quite a comical exchange.
A girl once confessed that she lied to her parents about doing her homework. She said she told them she had finished it all, but in reality, she had only done half. Then she went on to explain how she had to quickly hide her unfinished work when her parents came to check. It was a humorous account of a common childhood fib.
A Catholic priest was known for his love of gardening. One Sunday, he was so excited about his new batch of tomatoes that he started his sermon by saying, 'My dear parishioners, just as we tend to our souls, I have been tending to these tomatoes. And I must say, the patience and care are much the same. Just like these tomatoes need the sun and water, our souls need the love of God. And I'm hoping my tomatoes turn out as good as your souls are growing!' His unique way of connecting gardening to faith was both funny and thought - provoking.
Here's another one. A group of Catholic school kids were on a field trip to a farm. One of the little boys saw a donkey and said, 'Look, it's like the one that carried Jesus!' And another kid replied, 'But that donkey was a lot more holy!' which made everyone laugh. The innocence of the kids' remarks made it a really funny story in the Catholic context.
Sure. The story of Saint Joan of Arc is remarkable. She was a young peasant girl who claimed to have received visions from saints. She led the French army to several victories during the Hundred Years' War. She was ultimately martyred but is now considered a saint in the Catholic Church. Her courage and faith in the face of great odds is a great example.
Sure. Once, my friend confessed to his crush that he liked her by sending a singing telegram. The singer was a bit off - key but it was so hilarious that the girl couldn't stop laughing and ended up saying yes.
Sure. There was a time in my catholic school when a student accidentally let a goat loose during a nativity play rehearsal. The goat ran all over the stage, knocking down the manger and scattering the fake hay everywhere. It was chaos but also hilarious.
Sure. There was a student who brought his pet frog to school in his pocket. During class, the frog hopped out and created chaos. The nun teaching the class was so startled that she jumped on a chair. It was quite a sight and a story that everyone remembered for a long time.
There was a girl who was really into astronomy. Her friend, who had a crush on her, arranged a stargazing date. While they were looking at the stars, he pointed to a constellation and said, 'You know, that constellation is like my love for you, it's bright and unending.' It was such a cheesy but funny way of confessing and she couldn't stop laughing. But she also felt the sincerity behind it and they became a couple.
Sure. One funny first confession story is about a little boy who thought confessing meant telling the priest all the secrets of his siblings. So he went on and on about how his sister hid cookies and his brother peeked at Christmas presents early. The priest was trying hard not to laugh as the boy was so serious about these 'big sins' of his siblings.
Here's a Catholic joke. A priest, a nun, and a rabbi walk into a bar. The bartender says, 'What is this? Some kind of joke?' Another one: A Catholic mother is teaching her son about the Trinity. She says, 'Well, son, it's like an egg. There's the shell, the white, and the yolk, but it's all one egg.' And the son replies, 'Mom, so when we have breakfast, are we having Trinity for breakfast?'
