Bishop Karol Wojtyla visits a parish of his diocese

One time, Bishop Karol Wojtyla, the later pope, was expected in one of the parishes of Krakow’s diocese. It was a frosty December evening. All parishioners gathered in the front of their church. Everything was ready. The church choir finished its dress rehearsal. All people were watching the direction from where the bishop should have appeared. At this moment the people saw a skier, who approached to the crowd, took off his skis and went into church. Nobody paid attention to it, because these kinds of situations were common at this mountain village.
After a few minutes the people saw on the horizon a black limousine. The villagers enthusiastically began to call, “The bishop is coming, the bishop is coming….” Soon, the limousine stopped in front the gathered people. The rector approached the car and the choir conductor raised his wand. When the clergyman opened car’s door, he was flabbergasted because inside was only the driver. It was a big puzzle for the host.
At this moment at the church’s door appeared a choir boy who was loudly calling, “Come into the church, come into the church, because the bishop is standing in the front of the altar”.
