So Margaret and Joe, a young couple go and visit the village priest. Margaret speaks up, "father we've been married ten years and yet I can't get pregnant. What are we to do?"
"Well," answers the priest, "I've been summoned to Rome and I'll light a candle for you at the Sistine Chapel."
So the priest leaves, and is given duties at the Vatican and returns to the village 5 years later and sees Margaret in the grocery store pushing a cart overloaded with groceries and diapers. "So Margaret", he exclaims, "How's the family?"
"Oh father, you've been gone 5 years, and we've been blessed with 3 sets of triplets, three girls and six boys."
"Wow, that's marvelous! And where's Joe?"
"Oh father, he went to Rome to find that damned candle and blow it out!"
Holy candle

Diligently follow the path of two swords as one. Percieve that which the eye cannot see. Seek the truth in all things. Do not engage in useless activity.
