Yesterday afternoon I took several of the kids to a local Oratory with one of our favoritest priests. Dominic especially loves Msgr. Ingham, and although Msgr. can sometimes be a bit reserved, he loves Dominic too.
Later in the evening I took all the kids to our parish mission, and Dominic began to cry because he hadn't hugged Msgr. goodbye. Tearfully, he looked at me and asked, "Are we going to the purgatory?"
***************************************************************************
The parish mission started with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament which is my favorite devotion. I go weekly, and Dominic first crawled in the Adoration chapel so last night's exposition was nothing new for him.
After the Eucharist was placed in the monstrance, he looked and me and asked, "Jesus can see me?"
"Yes," I assured him. "Jesus is right there and He can see you."
"Yesss..." Dominic nodded to himself. Then he looked at me and asked, "Will He wink?"

In hell, people want to go to purgatory.
