This morning at Mass, there were some new altar servers. I just happened to sit down close to where they sat and could see what was going on. Two of the new servers were very small boys. There were also three older boys and an older girl. I loved watching them all learning from one another. The older ones guided the younger ones who quietly followed their directions. Occasionally the priest would place them or encourage them. At one point one of the servers brought the prayer book to the priest and held it open for him to read. The priest turned the book around as it was being held upside down and said “I’m good, but not that good!” Then he got the giggles and had to take a moment to compose himself before saying the closing prayer. Seeing the youth involved in the Mass added another layer of joy.

I Found God today in new altar servers.
