Very nice story. As chaotic as Mass was last weekend with so many relatives in attendance that hadn't seen the inside of a church for a long time, it was still an uplifting experience.
Twenty years ago, one of the sons of my friends, asked me to be his sponsor at Confirmation. I had been away from Church for many years and graciously accepted but approached it quite nervously. Once inside that Church, I did not want the Mass to end! I hung on every word uttered by the Bishop. It was a turning point in my faith journey.
Pray for all those who showed up last week for the first time. Quite possibly, some of them will also return to the Church. It is the children who lead us back through their faith.
