Holy Water

Some students were with me attending our Principal's mother's funeral Mass on Tuesday. It was raining so hard that there were buckets all over church collecting the leaks from the roof.

As the children were leaving Mass, I was standing in the back ensuring their respectful nature as they exited. One of the children came up to me and tapped me on the arm.

"Hey Mr. Norton, I have an idea," he offered.

Concerned that he may have been upset with the Mass, I encouraged, "What's your idea?"

"You know all that rain Father is collecting in the buckets? Since it is leaking from the church, maybe it can be reused as Holy Water."

I smiled. A ray of sunshine on a gloomy day.

"I'll let Father know."
