My third and final child has received the blessed sacrament of First Communion. My heart swells with love and admiration for this little one and her journey as a Christian.
In what has been a bizarre year, Lucy pushed through and worked hard on her lessons though a virtual catechism class. It certainly helped that her mama was the one of the teachers. However, she deserved this moment. Lucy's faith and love for God amazes me and she was rightfully proud of this day.
Not only did Lucy push through a year of virtual lessons, she also volunteered {on her own accord} to do the reading at the Mass. Little one practiced the scripture every night and nailed it with clarity and poise.
See Lucy's sweet little head over the pulpit. That's my girl!
Due to Covid restrictions, only our immediate family was able to attend the Mass. I snuck Grandma in. Forgive me God.
We held a small celebration afterwards at an old historic inn. Lucy was showered with gifts from family and friends who could not attend. However, Lucy's sweetest and most favorite babysitter joined us. It was truly special.
Congratulations Lucy! God Bless You. I know God was smiling down on your sweet soul today. Keep loving with all your heart!
