A Man Recently Broke Into My Church. Good on Him, I Say

The first thing she noticed was that all the candles had been lit. And by all, I mean all. The main altar candles, the side altar candles, about 20 or so on the votive candle stand, the one in front of Our Lady, and so on. For a high church establishment such as ours, lighting all the candles is quite an undertaking. The place looked like a John Woo film set. And there, sitting a few pews up from the front, a solitary man sat still. He hadn't broken in to rob or damage, he had broken in to pray. And judging by the amount of candle wax he burned, he had been there half the night.
