"I will retire when the Lord tells me it's time to retire,"
said the Rev. Adam Gudalefsky, 81. "I expect to go
to 120 if I'm permitted."

Father Adam, a Maryknoll missionary, has spent decades
in the Third World presenting programs aimed at caring
for -- and educating -- folks that he calls "normal people
who happen to be slow intellectually."

BUT IT AIN'T EASY BEING A LIVING SAINT

Father Adam Gudalefsky had boarded a crowded
antiquated bus in a Third World country recently and
said it was jam-packed that he felt like a sardine, being
forced to stand sideways the entire trip.
"At the next stop, even more passengers got on,
including a woman using a cane," he said.
"She squeezed in right next to me and, when she
moved even closer, she accidentally pressed the cane
on one of my toes, which really hurt. Then she accidentally
stepped on my other foot -- and that hurt, too."
The bus had gone some distance when the woman
told the driver that she had to go to the toilet but was
ignored, said Gudalefsky. Then, a little while later, she
told the driver she had to go to the toilet "even worse
than before."
Again, her plea was ignored as the jam-packed bus
kept rolling on.
Later, when the bus neared its destination, a terrible
smell began eminating from somewhere aboard.
When passengers finally began getting off, Father
Adam emerged from his sardine can rather relieved
because he finally had some room to move and to get
out into the fresh air.
Only then did the good priest realize that the woman
with the cane had done a No. 2 becasue, he sheepishly
admitted: "Some of it was STILL on my shoe."
