First Holy Communion

communion_prayer_800.jpg

It was a special, joyful occasion last weekend for the children who received the Sacrament of Jesus in Holy Communion for the first time at Masses in Taralga and Crookwell. May the ‘life’ of Jesus (in the form of the bread and wine) continue to bring them peace, joy, inspiration, strength, and courage throughout their lives.

Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 will be celebrating Mass next Thursday at 2pm to give thanks for this Sacrament and for this school term. All are welcome to attend.

WHY should you go to Mass?

  • Going to Mass and receiving Communion is about saying YES I BELIEVE in Jesus. I believe he loves me and died for me.
  • We hear God’s WORD speaking to us through the Scripture readings telling us how much we are loved and cherished and guiding us to lead good lives.
  • We hear and remember the ‘Jesus story’. We learn how to follow in his footsteps to bring peace and joy to our fractured world.
  • We relive Jesus’ last supper where he spoke about his death and resurrection,

And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you (on the Cross); do this in remembrance of me.” … he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you (on the Cross). Do this in memory of me.”

  • The Holy bread and wine we receive at Mass become Jesus Himself. In this way Jesus nourishes and strengthens us with Himself.

When we share communion we become joined as one community…. And nourished for life’s journey, taking Jesus to others and making our world a better place
