he Pope comes to Glasgow and asks "Anyone with 'special needs' who wants to be prayed over, please come forward to the front by the altar."
With that, wee Brendan got in line, and when it was his turn, the Pope asked, "My son, what do you want me to pray about for you?"
Wee Brendan replied, "Your Holy Popeness, I need you to pray for help with my hearing."
The Pope put one finger of one hand in Brendan’s ear, placed his other hand on top of his head, and then prayed and prayed and prayed.
He prayed a great prayer for Brendan, and the whole congregation joined in with great enthusiasm.
After a few minutes, the Pope removed his hands, stood back and asked,
"Brendan, how is your hearing now?"
Wee Brendan answered,
"Ah don't know. It's no' 'til next week....."
