You must be over 80, then.
I will tell you this: when I was about three, I exited church in a crowd down a long split staircase while clinging to my mothers dress. Only, when we reached the bottom and I looked up at her,............it wasn’t my mother! Some strange lady looking down at me with smile.
Nah, HandyDandy’s right, and you don’t have to be 80.
Altar boys have been fainting on the altar since time immemorial. And they continue to do so!
My own boys serve the TLM at our parish and both of them have fainted — usually due to their blood sugars taking a nose dive from fasting.
The older one did the Kneeling Sway and Topple maneuver described above by HandyDandy. He didn’t drop anything, and he didn’t get hurt.
But when my younger one fainted, it was a Standing, Frontward Poleaxe maneuver. Fortunately, his brother put all those years of fencing to excellent use! His fencing coach would have been so proud of the incredible lunge he performed (while still holding the censer!), and getting his hand underneath his brother’s head just in time to prevent it from smashing into the marble floor.
Now I just make sure they both have a glass of orange juice before we leave for Mass. (And yes, that would be about an hour before Mass begins, so their fasts are still intact.)
Regards,
