The joys of a country parish

This evening as I was walking into the church after greeting people after Mass at the parish of which I hope to become pastor, I saw something quite beautiful.

A family was at the foot of the sanctuary with a little boy who, I'm guessing, was two or three years old.

Dad told the boy to say goodbye to Jesus and he said, "Bye, Jesus!" Then, as they were crossing in front of the pews about to exit the church, the little boy waved his hand to the tabernacle and said, "Bye, Jesus!"

Why wouldn't I want to be pastor here?
