A priest once offered a nun a ride back to the convent. The nun accepted the kind gesture, stepped into the car, and as she sat down, she crossed her legs. In doing so, the edge of her long gown slipped slightly, exposing a part of her leg. The sight was enough to distract the priest so badly that he nearly lost control of the car and caused an accident.

He managed to regain his composure, but temptation had already crept into his mind. As he continued driving, he slowly and discreetly allowed his hand to slide up the nun’s leg. Calmly, but firmly, the nun spoke:
“Father, remember Psalm 129?”

Startled and embarrassed, the priest quickly withdrew his hand. He tried to focus back on the road, but soon after, as he shifted gears, his hand once again wandered and rested higher on her leg. The nun, in the same calm tone, repeated:
“Father, remember Psalm 129?”

Ashamed, the priest apologized softly. “Forgive me, sister. The flesh is weak.”

They finally arrived at the convent. The nun let out a long sigh, shook her head gently, and walked away without another word.

The priest, however, could not shake his curiosity. As soon as he returned to the church, he rushed to open his Bible to Psalm 129, eager to see what it said. His eyes widened when he read the words:
“Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”
