First Mass, first blessing, more than one hour for the blessings, holy cow! The way Hispanics and Asians, male and female, kiss his hands is beautiful. I’ve seen Hispanic boys and girls ask the priest for his autograph. Right parenting. The blessing is in Latin. Everyone knows it. It could be Martian. All the same.
As usual there are lots of extraneous noises. When I have ushered and stood at the end of the communion rail and seen Daniel who was serving, approaching, I wanted to start laughing. Someday I will get him in a headlock. His face is too waggish, so it is due. The second or third time I told him that, Daniel said, “As usual.” He doesn’t scare easily.
It might be revenge on my brother who was six years older. He got me in a scissor lock and headlock at every opportunity.
We love, need, and respect our priests. They are set apart.
