He Doesn't Remember

A nun once confessed to her bishop that Christ had revealed himself to her in person. The bishop was surprised, but he knew this nun and the deep walk she had with the Lord. So he said to her, "Look, the next time he reveals himself to you in person, ask him about the sins of the archbishop, because I'd like to know some of the bad things that he's been doing."

Because he was her confessor, the nun said that she would act in obedience and do exactly that. A number of weeks later she came back. The bishop said, "Well, did he reveal himself to you?"

She said, "Yes."

The bishop said, "What did he say?"

The nun replied, "He said, 'I don't remember.' "
