[center][i]“Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.[/i]”[b] ~ Matthew Chapter 10:14 (Douay-Rheims)[/b][/center]
Here is a treasure from Christendom – a portion of an article by a woman in Camden, New Jersey reflecting on the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) Easter Vigil last Saturday in her parish. I selected the portion where she is talking about the children. Please read the whole thing. She does as good as anyone in explaining why the TLM did not die out (as the modernists of Vatican II predicted) when the”old-timers” died – today it is young people flocking to it.....

“As I felt the outpouring of graces during the 4-hour Easter Vigil (yes, a 4-hour liturgy!!!!), I was stunned witnessing the precious toddlers present. For 4-hours of fire-lighting, lengthy chants, sung prophecies, baptismal font blessing and prayers, mass readings, communion, and the additional “bells and whistles” as I refer to them: the beautiful organ music, polyphonic choral selections, etc., the traditional toddlers quietly watched, listened, and soaked it all in......
I was awe-struck by the extraordinary infants, toddlers and young children who attended, served, and participated in the Easter Vigil Mass. Why do I say extraordinary? Are they born this way? Heck no. It has everything to do with discipline, training, and the example of others. These children attend the TLM every week. They become accustomed to long liturgies. Some of these children have never seen an ordinary form mass in English. For some parishioners who are 16 or 17, this is their ordinary form of mass!
Are the tiny tots little robots? No. Are they beaten into submission by their parents? No. They’re simply taught the proper way to behave in God’s Church. They remain quiet (as quiet as toddlers can remain) because they see others remaining quiet. When they cry or become restless, they are taken to a separate room where their parents can view the mass on a large television screen.
As we prayed our prayer for vocations aloud (in English), I wondered how many of the children in attendance might become seminarians, priests, or nuns. I prayed they will love and serve God their entire lives and help to restore His Church in its time of great need...."[/i]
