It is wonderful that boys so young have been given the privilege of assist- ing at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. They can receive an inestimable amount of grace by per- forming their simple but oh so glorious duties. In .nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spititus Sancti. Amen. Thus begin the prayers at the foot of the altar. The altar boy answers in a loud and clear voice all the prayers intoned by the priest. He stands, kneels, and sits always conscious of the presence of God. From the offertory to the sanctus he follows the Mass. At the Consecration he sees his God under the appearances of bread and wine and he realizes the opportunity which is his. He is the second person to receive the Holy Eucharist. A few more prayers and the priest is recition the last gospel. The altar boy now enjoys the privilege ofnclosing the Mass with the final Deo gtatiasu. This is the reward the altar boy receives for his hours spent in studying his Latin, the early Masses, and the long, cold walks to church on winter mornings. The altar boy knows that his reward is greater than his trouble and he is happy as a Knight of the Altar .
