My sons were in awe and then the oldest asked, " Mom, think I only have blue dress pants. Please, you need to buy me some black pants right away!" I loved that!

Boys need to feel useful and important and masculine, right?<br /><br />For 2 of them, they are more willing to be up there. And for the one who is not so willing, he has actually realized that serving can be a mortification of his will and in doing so....doing hard things...we grow in virtue and can gain graces....like stories of the saints.<br /> <br />I'd really recommend it!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423794317423373245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467184516054189174.post-86666339393040480642013-01-17T13:45:57.623-05:002013-01-17T13:45:57.623-05:00The video is fabulous as is the wonderful family p...The video is fabulous as is the wonderful family photo.

But like you said, it's for all of us. We all need to be reminded of Who is present on the altar.<br /><br />Chris - what impresssive boys you have...to take on such a goal and to care...THAT is moving and I wish him good luck and God's grace in this endevour! Thank you, always, for your kind words. And I thank God for the ways in which He makes things so timely and meaningful...and brings us together.<br /><br />Maxine - My husband always has the altar boys in training sit up on the altar and follow along. I am amazed how quickly they learn the responses, too!<br /><br />Janice - I think if you click LIKE under a YouTube video if saves to your favorites. Also, I use a site called RADBOX. It gives me a link on my toolbar and when I find a video I like I click on the link and it saves that video to my RADBOX. I can create files too, music, Catholic, educational and I can access my favorites from the site, anywhere. God bless you and your young son and family!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423794317423373245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467184516054189174.post-67338858821337980212013-01-17T02:07:13.067-05:002013-01-17T02:07:13.067-05:00Beautiful!

While I don't know how God is calling him, I know that by bringing him close to God in this way, I will be helping him to make the right choices as a Catholic person. I wish I could save this and show it to him when he can understand it someday!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516571233579403525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467184516054189174.post-78345721865601495722013-01-16T22:02:57.397-05:002013-01-16T22:02:57.397-05:00This was beautiful!

Now he is a torchbearer at High Mass, but he has been diligently practicing his responses so that he can serve Low Mass too. I'm going to show this to him. Thank you for sharing it!Maxinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03122409434772105340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467184516054189174.post-58848218402548328592013-01-16T10:03:39.479-05:002013-01-16T10:03:39.479-05:00Love this video, Allison.

Your post, as well....is very moving.<br /><br />My 12 yo old, Allison, is lately very upset and disheartened by the lack of reverence that the whole altar server program in our parish is being given and asked my dh and I if it'd be disrespectful if he arranged a meeting with the pastor to this end....We are encouraging him. He'd like to ask if there can be regular meetings for the servers and if the servers can be given more guidance AND held more accountable, in terms of behavior and attire.....I feel if he watches this first, he will be more equipped to speak with the pastor...He's been serving for three years now and loves serving so very much but is feeling unsupported and let down that there's no follow-through with the clergy helping the servers, you know?<br />I appreciate this post so very much today.<br />Love<br />ChrisChris https://www.blogger.com/profile/08164050250146561005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467184516054189174.post-72878838967080568422013-01-16T09:48:33.308-05:002013-01-16T09:48:33.308-05:00That was beautiful Allison!
