First Communion Novena: Day 5

April 29, 2008 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesota Me, My Girls, Special Events, Spiritual Growth 1 Comment

Opening Prayer for Each Day (See Novena Day 1)

Day 5 Prayer:

The flowers I will make today for the garden of my heart are bluebells.

I will make them by being cheerful.

Dear Jesus,
When You were a child like me,
You were never mean or unpleasant.
I want to be cheerful just like You were!
Today I will try very hard to be cheerful
at home, at school and at play.
I will try to be just like You, Jesus.
Each time I smile, it will be a beautiful bluebell
for the garden of my heart.
I hope You will like my bluebells, Jesus.
Sometimes they are very hard to make.

Dear Mother Mary and Saint Joseph,
please help me to be cheerful today.

Draw a picture of yourself making bluebells in your heart for Jesus.

    My son is making his First Holy Communion this upcoming Sunday. I know I’m two days behind and didn’t realize all the days were not online. My husband and I are looking forward to saying it with our son. Thanks and God bless you for doing this novena.

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
