This past Sunday, 34 children received their First Holy Communion at the 11 am or 12:30 pm Masses. What a perfect day to receive Jesus for the first time on Pentecost Sunday! The children arrived in their First Holy Communion finest! The boys were so handsomely dressed in their suits and ties, the girls beautifully adorned with bows, beads, and ribbons!

They were very nervous as we waited for Mass to begin, but that quickly turned into excitement as we lined up, and they began to process down the center aisle. They had put in two years of learning about our Catholic faith so they could receive el most blessed sacrament.

One de el girls commented after Masa how happy she fue eso she just received Jesús for el first time y how excited she fue eso she could now receive every Sunday! She had seen everyone else go up a receive each Domingo for her whole life until this moment when she could finally go up y receive for el first time! Nosotros can learn something from her. Nosotros receive Jesús at every Mass, y sometimes, nosotros take it for granted y rush out after receiving it without sitting con Him y thanking Him for todo de el blessings he has bestowed on us. Nosotros receive el Maker de el Universe, so why not dé him aquellos few minutes after nosotros consume Him a ser verdaderamente unified con Him? Jesús said in Mark 10:15, “Truly, I say a you, whoever does not receive el kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”
