- One time, there were a number of children going to receive their first Holy Communion. There was a girl who wouldn't be let go on for it because she was too young. So she cried and cried but still she would not be let on. On the morning the children were going to receive Holy Communion the little girl had to be kept at the door or she would go up to receive it. When the priest was distributing it, it flew down from the chalice and into the girl's mouth.
