When a Server Crashes

While at Mass yesterday morning (my fifth Mass in less than 48 hours!), I noticed some commotion near the altar during the Our Father. When I looked up, our pastor was holding one of his flock in his arms! I learned after Mass that one of the servers fainted during the Our Father. Since I play keyboards at church, I get to quite a few Masses. I usually see a "server crash" once a year. Fortunately, in the most recent incident, the server was holding hands with the pastor and a Eucharistic minister during the Our Father. When he began to wobble, Monsignor Terry caught him. Another Eucharistic minister that is a retired physician carried the server to a chair. After a drink of water, the server was fine. There was no need to bring in the Geek Squad.
