Opening Prayer for Each Day (See Novena Day 1)
Day 8 Prayer:
The flowers I will make today for the garden of my heart are lilies of the valley.
I will make them by keeping away from sin.
Dear Jesus,
When You were a child like me,
You were always sure to stay away from every sin.
I want to stay far away from every kind of sin like You did.
Today I will try very hard to stay away from sin
at home, at school and at play.
I will try to be just like You, Jesus.
Each time I avoid a sin it will be a beautiful lily of the valley
for the garden of my heart.
I hope you will like my lilies of the valley, Jesus.
Sometimes they are very hard to make.Dear Mother Mary and Saint Joseph,
please help me to stay away from sin today.
Draw a picture of yourself making lilies of the valley in your heart for Jesus.
Ad Jesum per Mariam,
Tomorrow is Cate’s day, right? Prayers for Cate! (and mommy to be calm and at peace with all the to-do’s with the day!)
Thank you, Jamie! Actually, Cate’s First Communion is on Sunday. 🙂
Lilly’s of the Valley! My favorite! The ones in my yards have buds on them. I can’t wait to smell them when they open. God Bless Cate! May her First Holy Communion be a day she will always remember in her heart.
