Emphasis Preaching Journal

A banquet was being held for the retirement of a movie producer, who had once been an actor. There were many celebrities in attendance, as well as Father Joseph. The priest had been a boyhood pal of the producer, and was now serving in the same poor neighborhood where both lads had grown up. The producer gave a special reading of Psalm 150 for his guests. He received great applause from the guests when he finished. He then said, "Now my friend Father Joseph will speak."
