How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?

A young man couldn’t decide which girl to marry.

He liked one girl, but he really liked another one named Maria, too.

He decided to ask his friend for advice.

“How do you make important decisions?”

he asked his friend.

“Well, I go to church,” replied his friend.

“Then I look up and pray and usually the answer just comes to me.”

The young man decided to try just that.

He went to church, looked up to pray, and the answer was written in gold above a stained-glass window.

It said: AVE MARIA
