Job’s cry of
hopelessness stands in marked contrast to the hope of those who put their trust
in Jesus, who “heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds”. Such are the blessing of the good news.

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat
because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking
up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking
place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me
Irish whiskey”. Miraculously, a parking place appeared. Paddy looked up again
and said, "Never mind, I found one."
Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and
says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
The man said, "I do Father." The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall." Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?" "Certainly, Father," was the man's reply. "Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest. Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven? O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father. The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?"O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now."
