Last Saturday, May 8th, will be forever imprint in Laurence's memory. On is eighth birthday he received the most beautiful gift he could ever received; the gift of our Lord Jesus Christ's body, soul and divinity for the first time! One hundred twenty-six years ago, on May 8th 1884, St Thérèse did her First Holy Communion. This Saturday, Laurence did his First Holy Communion at St Thérèse Catholic Church. What a blessed day! Laurence also share his birthday with my mother.
When Father handed out the certificate, I gave each First Communicant a rose to be offered to their mother.
Laurence's rose was passed from my hand to his back to mine, reminding me of the dance of love between the Father and the Son.
The next day on Mother's Day, we had a living Rosary and crowing of Mary. One of the little girl in our class (Michel and I teach the First Communion class) crowned Mary.
A Birthday to remember!
