Who Was the First to Call Jesus, Lord?


In study group, tonight, one of my "cloistered brothers" was talking about attending a Protestant service.  Well, that brought up the story of Joe and the Rosary.

Joe also used to attend all the church services he could--all denominations.  At one Protestant service, a question came up.  "Who was the first person to call Jesus, Lord?"

Now, these Protestants are well versed in scripture.  But this question stumped them.  No one said anything.  Finally, Joe, the Catholic, raised his hand.  He said, "Elizabeth."  Everyone was astounded that the Catholic knew the answer.

"How did you know that, Joe?"

And he laughed and pulled a Rosary out of his pocket.  "It's in the Rosary!"

Now everyone laughed.
