Ah, see? It works both ways! There is a priest who used to say the TLM for us at our parish. He is very old and is no longer able to say the Mass, but while he was doing it, the altar boys had to literally pick him up from a kneeling position every once in awhile.

The boys didn’t mind, and are to this day very protective of Father, helping him walk to an from the church if they see him out and about.

Everybody understands when someone just can’t do something anymore. I think it’s a great lesson for all of us.

Best to you,

Same deal here two weeks ago.
