FIRST HOLY COMMUNION 5:00 PM & 11:30 AM
Today, we celebrate a very *special Mass* for those *children *
who have been *waiting *for
and *desirous* of receiving their *first holy communion*.
Today *we come together* as a *family* to *take part* in a *meal*.
*We come together* to *share* a *loaf of bread* and a *cup of wine*.
In just a few moments, the *bread *and* wine* we offer to God
will be offered back to us as the *Body* and *Blood *of *Jesus Christ*.
We will be *invited* to *eat *at *His table*.
Today marks the first time you will come and eat, yet it will not be the last.
As the *years go **by* and you grow into a *teenager* and then *adulthood*,
the *Eucharist *will be an *essential part* of *your growth*.
The many *challenges* you will face
require a *strong faith* in *Jesus’ love* for you.
The *meal we **share* now is *God’s love* offering to us.
The *Eucharist* is the *sharing* of *God’s life* with us.
The *food* that Jesus gives us helps us *grow strong* in *love of God*
and *others* such as parents, teachers, relatives, and friends.
The most *important message* that Jesus says to us through the *Eucharist *
is that *God loves us* and *cares for us*.
When we come to *God’s house* and *eat at His table*,
we are being *made strong* in *His love*.
You remember the story when the *Israelites *doubted* God’s love* for them
as they were wandering in the desert, *God sent food* from heaven.
God *did not* *leave His people* alone to die.
Rather, God *heard their cries* and He *provided them* with *food*.
Even though *they complained*, *God* still *cared for them*.
*God’s love* is so *strong* and *deep *that He is ever *faithful* to our needs.
As God loves you with an *unlimited love*,
he desires you to *love* and *help others*.
This is not always easy.
Many times in school, we don’t feel like *being kind* or *helping others*.
We may *not feel well*.
The *test* *didn’t turn* *out* as *well* as we expected.
Someone has *hurt *us and we are *angry*.
Maybe we have even been *punished unfairly*.
Perhaps we just want someone to *listen* to *our side of the story*.
Yet *we* can still *love* and *help others*.
The *Body* and *Blood of Jesus* give us the *strength* to be *kind to others*
even when we don’t feel like it.
You see, many times *Jesus *was *tired* and *hurt* by others,
yet he *continued to help* those who were in need.
Jesus was *punished unfairly*, yet he never sought hurting others in return.
He wanted to *forgive* *them *and *love **them*.
We are asked to *do the **same*, just *like Jesus*.
Not only do we take notice today of these *boys *and *girls*
who will receive their first Holy Communion.
We take notice and *give thanks* for all the *families* and *friends*
who are with us this morning.
You have *supported *your *children*, *friends*, and *loved ones*
by being with them who will receive the Lord in a few minutes.
We are truly *God’s family* *nourished* by His love in the *Eucharist*.
~/
*Parents*, you are *entrusted* with the *sacred vocation*
of continually *nourishing* your *son* or *daughter* in *God’s way*.
Today you are asked to *rededicate yourselves* to this mission
by *your*/ /*reception* of the *Eucharist*.
Think back and remember
how often you have been *sustained by the Eucharist*,
in the *many trials* of your life.
Think back and remember how often the Eucharist has been received
with all the *gratitude* one can express to God.
Today you will receive the Eucharist with your child.
The family is the ‘*/little church/*’
which is empowered to help *build up the **Kingdom** of **God*.
Finally, to all of you who are to receive your first Holy Communion:
The congregation of Saint John wholeheartedly congratulates you.
We are *happy* for you.
We *rejoice* with you, your family, friends, and teachers.
We *give thanks* to the Lord for His great love.
*Keep this moment forever* with you.
Let the *joy of today* stay with you for *all your tomorrows*.
Let today be the *first of many days* of eating at the Lord’s Table.
Always remember ~/ that Jesus loved children and wanted to be with them.
He *called them* and *blessed them*.
Jesus went so far as to say
that the *kingdom of heaven* is *made up of little children*.
*You are important to Jesus* now and always.
*God loves you* and so do all of us!
