What an amazing young man & from such a young age. We noticed at Mass this evening how our youngsters now are totally lacking training in how to behave at Mass. 2 young boys (8 or 9) came in with there mother straight past the front of the Sanctuary, hands in pockets without even looking at the tabernacle let alone genuflecting or even acknowledging the presence of God Almighty in the tabernacle. If I recall correctly one even had his hat on initially. How do we expect Holy Mother Church to continue in existence let alone grow with such non-existent instruction from parents? We shall be lucky to ever see the likes of our young saints again.
