Tuesday morning I attended Mass with the children. The first grades lead us. They did the readings (the introduction, the reading from the Old Testament, and the intercessions), the lead us in singing, and prepared the altar at Offertory. They also gave a very beautiful reflection on our Guardian Angels and how we can look to them to help us through each day. What stuck me the most was their innocent yet genuine sincerity and reverence through the entire Mass. There is just nothing quite like a school mass in which children minister to us. It reminded me how I should approach the Mass and Eucharist each and every time. The experience reminded me that I, too, am a child of God. I am grateful to them for their example.
