Far sight!

 Two days ago KT received a WhatsApp message from a priest saying that he is on his way to Hyderabad to participate in the national meeting and that he is landing at Hyderabad airport two days prior. He requested to be picked up since he is landing at midnight and it is his maiden visit to Hyderabad. He expressed his desire and plan to visit the Brothers from Northeast studying at Karunapuram. 

KT picked him up from the airport at midnight. And on his way to the house the priest told KT that he would leave early morning to Karunapuram. 

Next day morning KT was in the Chapel, early riser that he is. Sometime later when it time for Mass, and since none of us community members managed to make it to the Chapel, he noticed this priest enter the Chapel. 


KT out of courtesy invited him to the sacristy, offered him the alb and requested him to preside over the Eucharist. The guest backed away and declined. KT persuaded him saying that no sermon was expected. He still refused. KT then took off the Mass introduction as well. Still he was not ready to preside. In a final bid KT volunteered to read the gospel as well. Still no willingness. Having backed out at each offer, the guest was now almost out of the sacristy. 

That's when the guest revealed that he was not a priest at all. And that he was an ex-aspirant whom the guest priest had invited to join him to Karunapuram. All this while KT failed to recognise that the young man before him was not the same as the one whom he had picked up from the airport last night!!!!
