Homilys of a 6-year-old

So the other day Daniel, who is six, said Mass for Bernadette, our youngest sister, and my mother, father, and Deborah listened from the other room. He talked about how everyone has to die. Yeah. "Even though you are something, you can't be that forever...you won't be a girl forever, you won't be twelve forever...like if I wanted to be a policeman...I couldn't be that forever...even if I don't want to WE all HAVE TO DIE!!!" This was news to us. Here, all these years we thought we were going to have to stay on earth forever, but we don't! He emphasized the fact that we have to die even when we don't want to. His sermon about the worms and the height of the temperature in Hell is another that shall live in infamy.
