I rather appreciated Father's kindly handling of the crying child. One serious problem with Catholicism in this time is that the voices of the children - either sweet or sour - have fallen silent because they do not exist. I applaud young married Catholics who bear witness to the beauty of Jesus' Good News via childbearing in obedience to Holy Mother Church's teaching on Human Life. My bride and I have been unable to conceive in our eighteen years of marriage - following two miscarriages - and we are now in our forties. I would celebrate the opportunity to hold my grumpy baby - and have you sneer-down-your-nose at me - on any given Sunday.
+Sean Patrick my good sir, I express to you my sincere condolences on the losses you have suffered. l truly hope you and your wife might be able to have a child some day. now as regards this video, I could be wrong, but I don't think that's a baby. if I'm right and this is an older child, than I absolutely stand by what I said. kids need to learn respect. especially in the House of God.
Agreed; that was definitely a child, not a baby, and while children definitely should come to church and sometimes even to longer sermons such as this, parents should have a good instinct about if/when to take the child outside for three reasons: I) the honour of God, II) the edification of their fellow parishioners who may desperately need spiritual consolation, and III) so as not to exasperrate the child. Sometimes my daughter needs to have a break and run around, so I take her outside where she can fulfill those needs and follow along in my missal. The priest handled it perfectly, and I have to remind some of the naysayers that if the priest had not said anything, the parent might have let the child cry on, to the detriment of both the child and the people attending. Pax!
Thanks for posting, very informative.
Beautiful.
but a beautiful sermon

+Sean Patrick the comment would be OK if you edited out "good Lord"
