Mass with the kids is far from annoying

This morning I had a chance to say a mass in an elementary school with all their students: grade one to grade six.  All were very noisy which could lead one to be irritated being a celebrant.  But their faces were angelic, innocent which makes me conclude that they are closer to God than me.  I need to be humble in front of these kids, they are God's children.  To love them in the mass, made me younger, energized by their responses during the homily which they wanted to prolong. But there were the schedule of classes.  I told them stories using their imagination.  It revived my soul.  Made me feel like a child again.  Moreover, they were all filled with  generosity.  To my surprise they agreed to a proposal: to give their collection to the victims of typhoon Ondoy, especially the children.  They are even more excited having the freedom of the children of God, truly, theirs is really the God's Kingdom.

Children are really God's gift to our country, our wealth, our future.  They, given with proper love, could lead us to Him.
