Communion Class Memory Work During these classes the children are asked to memorize the following items below. We realize that not all of them will completely memorize them, but we do ask that parents review these items at least once a week, and that even after the first communion, families continue to do this once a week for a year. At the end of that year, your child will know these things by heart. Dressing and gifts for the 1st Communion Ceremony. White dresses for young women, and white shirts for boys are the traditional attire. This comes from the early Christian practice of using white for baptism as a sign of the purity we are given by Christ's forgiveness of our sins. Parents are welcome to use the traditional attire, or simply use the child's best clothes. Photographs may be taken during the presentation of the children and after the service. Gifts are always appropriate and may include age appropriate bibles, prayer books, crosses, medals, rosaries, and other items to remind the child of the love God has for them, and the love they hope to show to God. Communion Class Memory Work List The Lord's prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. The greatest commandments Mark 12: 29"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. 31 The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." God's Forgiveness 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. The Confession of Sin Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. The Apostles Creed I believe in God, the Father
almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his
only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of
the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was
buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended
into heaven, and is seated at the
right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. I |
