High Five

My vocation director was up recently. He arrived later on in the evening because he was hearing confessions. He was hearing the first confessions of the second graders. While he was praying the prayer of absolution over one of the boys, he had his closed and one of his hands extended. During the prayer of absolution, the little guy extended his hand to high-five my vocation director. My vocation director did not know what to do at that point, but the penitent figured out that a high-five might not have been the best thing to do, funny and cute nonetheless.
