what?


Bros. Maximillian and Pio. Who says being holy isn't cool? They're CFRs (Franciscans of the Renewal) working with the poor in Brooklyn.

While on another mission trip down in South America, the nuns they were working with asked the American brothers to sing an American song. Brother Maximillian, never at a lost, dusts off a swank version of Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler." The sisters all applaud and clap, their English not sophisticated enough to understand the song. When queried about his song choice, Br. Max said "It was the first thing that came into my head." God bless you, brothers.
