Our Lord Jesus Christ tries his hand at optometry

1 And so Alejandro (that is the son of Jaime, the investment banker) came to enter the offices of "Optica JesuCristo" for, like many, he had heard tell the power of the words of the great Optometrist. Also he thought he might have astigmatism and wanted to get it checked out.

2 And behold, already a crowd of four thousand had gathered to hear His great word and to ask about bifocals.

3 Jesus called his disciples to him and said "My brothers and sisters shall not take an eye-test without presenting proof of insurance."

4 His disciples answered, "where could we find enough forms in this remote place to verify such a crowd?"

5 "How many forms do you have?" Jesus asked.
They answered, "Seven. And a few old pens."

6 He told the crowd to sit and wait for there name to be called. Then, after giving thanks he took the seven forms, and the pens, and he gave them to his disciples and they in turn to the people. 7 And all wrote and were verified.

8 A blind man emerged from the crowd and begged Jesus to touch him. Jesus called him from the crowd and to the front.

9 He spat on the blind man's eyes and placed his hand over them. The man paid a twenty-five shekel copay and his sight was restored.

10 Then, Alejandro of Asuncion saw the power of The Optometrist's deeds, and the goodness of his waiting room magazine selection.

11 And before there were to leave, Jesus held up a large bottle and said unto the crowd "This bottle is the new and everlasting covenant in contact lense solution. It shall be applied on you and your lenses so that grime may be removed. Do this in memory of me."

I can only assume that's what goes on at Optica JesuCristo.
