Seeing the bread and wine (or grape juice) used in this rite, children often think that refreshments are being served. Attending his first Mass, one small boy listened as the altar boys rang the bells for the consecration, and yelled, "Come and get it!" Whereupon those who were to take Communion went and got it.

I cannot do everything, But still I can do something ; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
