4Real Forums: Great quote for Holy Week

Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I read this wonderful quote this morning in my Magnificat and wanted to share it:

"In these coming days, try to give the children good and beautiful things to remember. All that they see in church during Holy Week speaks to their imagination and their hearts. You must take them with you and explain everything clearly."
Blessed John XXIII

Thanks Irene. I think I'll print it out and add it to the cover of their Easter Vigil notebooks.

I thought of you, Alice, and your Easter Vigil plans when I read the quote. I also thought of Karen E. bringing her girls to the Easter Vigil and quietly explaining everything to them throughout. You are both living examples of this quote!

Irene,

You're so kind. I'm stealing a few minutes here to try to catch up on mail, and saw this. I love the quote, and will also save it. Thank you.
