How to Keep the “Holy” in Your Child’s First Holy Communion
Planning your child’s First Communion?
I remember my First Communion like it was yesterday…
…the silver cross from my grandparents, the shiny black dress shoes, and the moment I did a lunge/stretch and hearing my father go, “Oh no… don’t stretch in your new dress shoes!”
I was 8 years old….still just a kid…
As a parent, it can be tough trying to balance the holiness and fun of celebrating your child’s First Communion.
I recently came across an article on CatholicLink that can help. It’s about keeping the ‘holy’ in your child’s ‘First Holy Communion,’ and Becky Roach’s has a lot of valuable insight.
In her article, “7 Tips for Keeping the ‘Holy’ in First Holy Communion,” she gives 7 tips:
- Lead by example.
- Share stories.
- Emphasize the Real Presence.
- Take time for prayer.
- Go to Confession.
- Choose a gift wisely.
- Frequent the Sacrament as often as you can.
Follow these tips, and you can ensure the holiness of this special occasion isn’t lost.
