We know that the Church is universal and there is no required age or language to speak to the Lord, much less to thank him for daily bread. This little Korean boy understood it well! And under the gaze of his tender mother’s phone, he prays a blessing from the depths of his heart in front of his plate of noodles—which looks very appetizing! The video has already been viewed more than five million times.
The boy prays in Korean, but there are captions in English. He prays: “God, thank you for giving me delicious food today. Thank you for this meal. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.” Then he digs in messily and clearly enjoys the meal (his parents will have some clean-up to do later…).
Simple, effective, and recited with a good heart—certainly, this little Korean has understood what really matters, and can serve as a model for children all over the world! And, who knows, those who will go to World Youth Day (WYD) in Seoul in 2027 will perhaps be inspired by it!
