Church Of A Thousand Tears

I've been a member of my church for years and did not know that it was called the Church of a Thousand Tears! Not until today, I swear. The lady who gave the opening prayer today really gave me a jolt. Her words hit like a lightning bolt: 'We are grateful that this is The Church of a Thousand Tears'. 'Somos gratos que esta é a igreja de mil lágrimas.' As I listened to more and more of the prayer, it finally became quite clear that my old and decrepit ear most assuredly did not hear correctly. What she really said, I'm sure, is 'Somos gratos que esta é a igreja de milagres.' Translation: 'We are grateful that this is the church of miracles.' O.K., now, I don't need to be so tense. That really makes a lot more sense!
