This will take place at all Masses today. This is the first step into the Sacramental life of Christ since their Baptism eight years ago or so. The children and their families are committing themselves to prepare to begin celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Eucharist.
Loving God, You have filled these children with the desire to be people of loving kindness and reconciliation and to be nourished in the Eucharist. May they ever deepen their awareness of your love for them, and may they grow ever closer to your Son, Jesus, in their families and in our community. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
