According to various historical accounts,
Saint Joseph of Cupertino could smell sin,
“foul, unbearable odors around certain people.”
In various passages in the Bible the stench
of sin is written about.
Pray, Pilgrim, that when you die, you smell
like the lillies in the fields instead of
the skunks in the forests.
Pray, Pilgrim that all this talk about the
stench of sin is metaphorical,
and you won’t need deodorant
in the hereafter.
Bob Boyd
