This is POWERFUL. I work as a parish secretary and have shared this video with our pastor and our religious education teacher at our school. I would LOVE to see a similar video that speaks to the ministry of EMHC’s (Eucharistic Ministers of Holy Communion!). God bless you!
Beautiful I am going to have my three boys who serve at the altar watch this video. They are reverent and take their duty as servers seriously but it is such a beautiful explanation of serving. Lisa Leopold
Totally agree with you Fr. But I don't agree with is having girls as alter servers. It should be boys. In my parish some times it's all girls. And they are allowed to wear sneakers or open shoes , not good.
Father, you spoke lovingly and with incredible enthusiasm about being analter boy growing up, and your experiences durung those moments. I always like to see only boys serving at the alter during Holy Mass with the priest and not girls, although I felt sorry for the girl's hair getting caught on fire. Qe shoyld revert back to the days when only boys were allowed to serve at the alter with the priest.🙏
Thank you Father. I am 52 year old, married with a beautiful daughter. I was altar boy when I was a kid. I fell away from the Church for several years and finally I came back in full conversion. I've been contemplating to go back and be altar man again, I guess I can't say "altar boy" anymore. Is this a possibility in my situation? or are married people at older age excluded?
Girls should be able to have the same opportunity to serve on the altar as boys. It impacts their lives just as much as boys. All 6 of my kids were altar servers and three are girls. I’ve been blessed that they all are deep in their faith in their late 20’s and early 30’s. A part of that is their altar serving.
That is not how God formed his liturgy and isn't where girls belong. It isn't where laity belong except for Altar boys. The offering of the Mass is entirely masculine. It was so in the Jewish Tradition in the time of Jesus, Joseph, and Mary and remains so today. This is NOT supremacy, it is the order of things. Period. You and your children are formed in a Faith suffering from rupture as Jorge as emphasized repeatedly. Try going to a real sacrifice; the Roman Rite. @@diannaorjimdavies899
The good, true, and beautiful. Thank you Father 🕊🕊🕊
Glad you enjoyed! God bless :)

I do not agree. Girls should be allowed
This is the Best. I just passed it on the my pastor to intergrate it into the Servers Training.
That's amazing!

I love everything you are saying because I have witnessed all of it! Being a veteran I know exactly the beauty of precision!
Gonna show this video for my altar server training :)
Lord, show me a sign as to whether or not girls should be altar boys…
*Girl altar boy’s hair is engulfed with flames.”
…Lord, any sign at all…

I'd suggest asking your local parish priest about that!
NO ALTAR GIRLS PLEASE.
👍💪🙏⛪
Girls shouldn't serve at the altar and I was hoping for some history of the server at the Roman Rite not the novus ordo.

@@diannaorjimdavies899girls will never be priests so they shouldn’t be altar servers
Why would you do a 360 with the thurible? Seams childish to me. Even irreverent.
Manure scoop is placed on the Alter at every Mass, Mt. 24:15.
