A Roman Catholic Priest is on his way to Rome, when he runs into an old childhood friend.

“My goodness, Mary! How have you been” he says.

“Oh, could be better,” she says.”My husband Robert and I have been trying to have children for the past fifteen years, but we are barren.”

“I’am so sorry “, says the priest. “I am on the pilgrimage to Rome and I promise to light a candle for you in the Great Cathedral!”

Mary thanks him and after chatting a little, they part ways.

Five lears latter, the priest us eating dinner, when there’s a knock on the door.

He opens it and to his surprise, it’s Mary’s husband – Robert!.

“I am so glad, I found you.”, he exclaims. “Remember that candle you lit for Mary, years ago? Well, Mary and I now has two sets of twins and a set of triplets and I just found out she is pregnant with quadruplets!”

Robert then hands the priest an all expenses-paid ticket to Rome.

“Oh my, Robert”, says the priest. “Your joy is my joy. You didn’t need to give me a thank you gift.”

“Oh no, its not a thank you”, says Robert…

“It’s so that you can go and blow out that damb candle.”
