This hoverboarding priest is a Christmas gift to all

He brings peace and joy to everyone who watches him.

Priests do a little too much walking and not nearly enough hoverboarding nowadays. Thankfully, we have some priests who are willing to stand up for what's hip and correct the trend.

Twitter user Vynnlo's local priest recently hoverboarded into his Christmas Eve service, bringing peace and joy to everyone who watched the subsequent viral video.

This isn't the first time this priest has introduced cool teen technology to his service.

Vynnlo later clarified that the parish didn't actually give the priest the hoverboard. The priest appears to have borrowed the hoverboard for a sermon about how Jesus adds balance to people's lives.

Not to disrespect the priest, but anyone who's ever ridden a hoverboard before (besides this very talented priest) will tell you that hoverboards give you anything but balance.

Balancing on a hoverboard for more than five seconds is, without a doubt, a Christmas miracle.
