I'll be printing this out and reading it to my daughter.

I bet watching the children receive the Body and Blood of Jesus must be a truly wonderful feeling for you. <br /><br />I'm a 3rd grade Catechist at my parish, and my class made its First Communion last night, our priest had a really good homily as well. He engaged the children with a story and then quizzed them about the Eucharist. The hands that went up to answer his questions were my students and I felt proud to know they understood. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing. I'm not sure I've left you a comment before, but I do stop by and read your blog quite often.<br />Maria in New MexicoMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12743644644608446685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-75261187889255598552009-04-26T16:55:00.000-04:002009-04-26T16:55:00.000-04:00What an amazing homily for the children, Father!

Thank you--these words brought tears to my eyes and made me remember those little First Communicants of ours so long ago. A Parishioner from St.Mary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
