My parish recently held our annual Vacation Bible School. Making the rounds, I came upon a group of kids on the lawn enjoying a bit of play time. I wasn't in collar and quickly realized that the kids didn't recognize me.
I'm Father Jim, I said. I'm your priest.
One little boy looked at me intently and asked, Are you the man who holds up the big circle?
At first I was confused, then it struck me: on Sunday morning, I stand at the altar and hold up the bread and wine. The host is rather large and, yes, round. A big circle!
