First Holy Communion :: Day Three

It's quickly approaching.  The very day Rose will recievie Jesus in Holy Communion.  She's beginning to get nervous.  Though there isn't anything to be nervous about.  Each time she see's Fr. Steve she tells him, "See you on Sunday".  At first he was confused about what she was refering too.  Now he chuckles and says he wouldn't miss it.  Very cute.

We continue with our novena.
Opening Prayer::

Very soon I will receive Jesus
for the first time in Holy Communion!

I can hardly wait!
I must get myself ready.
I must make my heart ready for Jesus
to come to me in this special way.
I will make my heart a beautiful garden.
I will fill it with flowers to please Him.
When He comes into my heart He will be very happy.
He will see how much I love Him!
I will work very hard to make many flowers for Jesus.

Dear Mother Mary and good Saint Joseph,
please help me get ready to receive
Jesus in Holy Communion!

Day Three::

The flowers I will make in my heart today for the garden of my heart are forget-me-nots.
I will make them by visiting Jesus.

Dear Jesus,

When You were a child like me,
You loved to visit the Temple and pray to God, our good Father.
I want to make visits with You because I love You so much!
Today I will try to visit You, in my heart at least,
if I cannot visit You in Church or in the Adoration Chapel.
I will try to be just like You, Jesus.
When I visit You, it will be a very special forget-me-not
for the garden of my heart.
I hope you will like my forget-me-nots, Jesus.
Sometimes they are very hard to make.

Dear Mother Mary and Saint Joseph,

please help me to be able to visit Jesus today.

Draw a picture of yourself making forget-me-nots in your heart for Jesus:
