Peace be with you!

'Tis the season for First Communions!

Let's say a prayer for all the beautiful souls who have had, and will have their First Holy Communion this season!

"O Jesus, You have loved us with such exceedingly great love
as to give us the ineffable gift of the Holy Eucharist,
inflame us with a burning zeal
to promote Your glory by praying for (your child’s name)
to prepare worthily to approach Your holy table for the first time.

Protect, O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
this young soul from the assaults of evil,
strengthen his/her faith, increase his/her love
and endow him/her with all the virtues
that will make him/her worthy to receive You.

Amen.

Saint John the Baptist, forerunner of the Messiah,
prepare the way for Jesus in the heart of (your child)

Saint Tarcisius, keep safe the children who are making their first Communion."
