Have you heard about a small boy named Tharsiyus?
Though he was a small boy he changed into a great saint.
In those days when there were not more priests, Tharsiyus took the Holy Encharist to a patient and went. Knowing well about his work, he felt happy in taking the encharist and walked in the street.
His friends were preparing themselves to play in a place.
They needed still one more person. At that time on seeing Tharsiyus at a distance they felt happy and compelled him to come and play with them. Though Tharsiyus told them that he would come for playing soon after finishing his work, they didn’t accept to that. For him it was a situation unsuitable to play.
The angry boys, pushed down Tharsiyus and beat him with stones and gave him trouble. The small boy Tharsiyus bore everything with patience and holded the encharist safely and firmly. After a short while he got fainted and died. In executing his work, are you able to see the great responsible feeling he showed?
