Had a Franciscan priest who came once a week to help out. His sandals were always falling apart but if someone gave him new ones he would give them away. So a woman started bringing him used sandals. He was so small none of our vestments fit him so he brought his own. He adamantly refused to accept new ones when his were beyond reasonable repair. Someone lied (!) and told him they fell apart in the wash so that he would accept another set. This was all in spite of the fact that nothing actually belonged to him.

That is an awful pun on the door, Leo. Is that your worst? (I’m a frayed knot.)

You’re a good lad, Leo, trying to mend all those robes.

Of course, it could also be taken as a competition to see who is the most prideful.

There’s nothing like a “broken-in” sweatshirt, but sometime that even has to go.
