I was at Mass at the Newman Center last night and was both surprised and pleased by something that happened.
Two students have been coming to Mass for some time. The both use wheelchairs to get around. I don’t know if their disabilities are acquired or if they have had them since birth; that is just not something you ask someone. Any way, they are nice guys. I don’t recall their names but I have talked to them after Mass on a number of occasions. I know they both play wheelchair basketball for the
They always sit in the front row of one of the side sections. In a spot where some chairs get moved for them.
Last night, one of them read the first reading. I was at first surprised; I know not why. I was pleased to see someone with such a disability take such a role in the liturgy.
