In a simple but memorable way, Will You Come to Mass? conveys the joy and graces that are available to all those who participate in the Holy Eucharist. Based on the invitation to the Great Banquet (see Lk 14:15-24), church bells, like angel voices, invite all the characters, to join in the weekly celebration but one by one they each give some excuse! The sloth is too sleepy, the robin is too busy cleaning, the horse is working, and the monkeys have a game to play. But the little lamb is different. When he hears the bells, he feels a sparkle and says, "I want to go! Just lead me!" When the church door opens, can you find the little lamb? Here's a hint: He is where we all long to be!
