There are three boys among our children getting ready to receive First Holy Communion. They regularly attend the catechism classes and are actively involved in the Sunday Parish too. However, in comparison to the other boys, one of them is a real 'rascal' - not so much in the sense of mischief but in the sense of devotion and relation. Something I have observed among most of our boys is that the prayer before meals is said with utmost devotion and reverence. Looking at them pray before meals is a sight to behold and I should say, none of them waste food either. Of course, some are finicky about some types of meals, most of them do not make any fuss. But one of the Catholic boys is most often distracted during this prayer. While everyone is with eyes closed and palms joined, this guy is fiddling with his keychain or the zip of his pullover or meddling with his neighbour's shirt. Wonder where does all his catechism lessons goes into?
