The Weight of a Mass: A Tale of Faith

The Weight of a Mass: A Tale of Faith
by Josephine Nobisso, Gingerbread House

This is a story about a kingdom whose inhabitants had grown cold in their faith. One day an old woman entered the bakery and asked for a crust of bread. In exchange she would offer a Mass for the baker. He mocked her, wrote the words, "One Mass" on a delicate piece of tissue paper and dropped it on his scale. On the other side he placed a piece of bread. The whole town was amazed at what happened next!

The Squire and the Scroll


This is a tale of the rewards of a pure heart. It is a story for everyone, young and old. It tells of the last knight who could save the kingdom and his wise young squire not yet hardened by the notion that his manly strength and battle experience were more powerful than the lessons learned from a scroll in childhood. Which of the two would be the hero who saves the kingdom and gains the hand of the princess in marriage?
