Andres Noe comes each week to our Las Alitas center with his grandma and his sister to attend weekly religious education classes. His parents don’t come because they both have to work.
Andres is the sweetest boy and is very close to Jesus. He often goes and kneels before the tabernacle, spending time in prayer while his friends run outside to play.
One day Andres came to Las Alitas very sad and worried. His parents had gotten into a big fight and his dad had stormed out of the house. His mom said that they were getting a divorce. Andres spent time praying before the Blessed Sacrament. Afterward he told his grandma, “Grandma, Jesus told me in my ear not to worry. That He is going to solve my problem.”
The grandma said, “What did you ask Him?” Andres didn’t reply but seemed relieved and happy. He skipped outside to play with the other kids.
A few days later, his parents were back together again. Not only that, they were very happy with one another. Andres told his grandma, “See! Jesus told me He was going to take care of it.” “What exactly did you ask Jesus?” This time Andres told her. “I asked Jesus to bring my dad back, and for my mom and dad to be happy together.”
Oh, the faith of a child!
