Hush, God is coming!
It is not for nothing that folk wisdom says: "Through the mouth of a baby speaks the truth."
Often, through children, meek, gentle, the Lord reveals that secret that we cannot see.
So I was once convinced how close our sick children are to God.
We brought the kids to the service in an adult boarding school, in the temple of the blessed mother Xenia. Sitting in a row right on the rug, the kids quieted down, watching with curiosity the priest, the choir and unfamiliar uncles and aunts, who behaved quite noisily. Then, like all children, they got tired and began to indulge.
I tried to calm them down, forgetting about the main thing - that this place is holy and that we and the children came to God.
The Liturgy of the Faithful was going on.
And suddenly, after the exclamation of the priest, "Holy to the saints!" little Andryusha loudly, to the whole church, cried out:
- Hush, God is coming!
Everyone was quiet, but I was scared.
After all, it was a clear miracle.
How could a child who hardly speaks and did not seem to understand the meaning of what was happening could so accurately foretell the removal of the Holy Chalice?
