A First Holy Communion

by | Feb 24, 2009 | First Communion | 14 comments

Quinquagesima Sunday ~ February 22, 2009

(February 22 is also the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter, which I thought was special since Father recently came back from giving tours in Rome of St. Peter’s tomb!)

“My First Holy Communion!”


Our Family and our First Communicant with Father
(Right before Mass we found out that this was Father’s First time to give someone their First Holy Communion! Isn’t that neat?!)

“Adoremus in Æternum Sanctissimum Sacramentum.”
(Let us for ever adore the Most Holy Sacrament.)


“The body of our Lord, Jesus Christ, preserve my soul unto life everlasting! I possess Him Who gives Eternal life. With firm and confident Faith, I believe, O Jesus, that Thou hast words of eternal life. Thy Flesh is meat indeed. I have received Thy sacred Body. Thou art truly present in my soul, my Lord and my God; Thou art most intimately united in me. Oh, how can I sufficiently adore Thee! Thou art my God — I, thy unworthy creature; Thou, my Father and Savior, hast taken pity on me: Thou lovest me, it is Thy delight to be with me. How can I, my Jesus, thank Thee for this grace! Magnify the Lord, my soul, for He hath done wonderful things to thee! Sweet merciful Jesus, vouchsafe to look kindly upon my poor and pitiful gratitude.” ~ Excerpt from First Communion Thanksgiving Prayer
in Jesus Make Me Worthy

    How beautiful. I read your post below about the priest letting him make his first confession and first Holy Communion on such short notice. That is wonderful. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Hope you feel better soon!!

    Thank you everyone!

    It was hard not to be a tiny bit disappointed that Rascal wasn’t able to receive in the Traditional Rite in a beautiful church like Captain was, but the important thing is that he WAS able to receive these Sacraments, and for that we are so very thankful!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
