So many children are preparing for the First Holy Communions, many this weekend! Clare is preparing for hers as well – not this Sunday, but soon. I am grateful and excited for her to be able to receive Christ in the Eucharist!
We’ve been using a series by Dynamic Catholic, Blessed, for part of her preparation. All of our kids (at least from ages 4-8) actually love watching the animations that go along with the program. Anyway, just something awesome (and free) online for families to use!
I’ve seen a lot of different responses to dealing with church restrictions and First Holy Communion celebrations. I encourage you to help your children look forward to receiving Christ – even if there isn’t a party or big group photos. My brother has a wedding coming up. There will be 10 people there, and a larger party hopefully in a year. But what matters? The sacrament.
May we stay focused on Christ!
God Bless You,
