This weekend we offer our prayers and our congratulations to all our young people who are receiving Christ in the Eucharist for the first time in their lives. We ask for your kindness in welcoming them and their guests as they celebrate the sacrifice of the Mass with us.
 
O Jesus, who hast loved us with such exceeding great love
as to give us the ineffable gift of the Holy Eucharist,
inflame us with a burning zeal to promote Thy glory
by preparing worthily the little children
who are to approach Thy holy table for the first time.
Protect, O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
these young souls from the assaults of evil,
strengthen their faith,
increase their love and endow them
with all the virtues that will make them worthy to receive Thee.
Amen.

-- Jo Ann Elder
