Ciepłe powitanie do całych naszych Polskich gości dziś. Mamy nadzieję wy być cieszyć się świętowaniem Pierwszej Świętej Komunii. Jest specjalnym dniem w życiach tych dzieci.

Dear parents! I ask you to help your children to grow in faith, I ask you to accompany them on their journey towards First Communion, a journey which continues beyond that day, and to keep accompanying them as they make their way to Jesus and with Jesus. Please, go with your children to Church and take part in the Sunday Eucharistic celebration! You will see that this is not time lost; rather, it is the very thing that can keep your family truly united and centred. Sunday becomes more beautiful, the whole week becomes more beautiful, when you go to Sunday Mass together. And please, pray together at home too: at meals and before going to bed. Prayer does not only bring us nearer to God but also nearer to one another. It is a powerful source of peace and joy. Family life becomes more joyful and expansive whenever God is there and his closeness is experienced in prayer. (Pope Benedict Sunday, 10 September 2006)
Use the letters of ALTAR to give thanks for receiving Holy Communion:
Act of Adoration: My God and my creator, I adore you, because from your hands I came and with you I am to be happy forever.
Act of Love: Lord, I love you with all my heart. You know that I love you and desire to love you daily more and more.
Act of Thanksgiving: O good Jesus, I thank you with all my heart. How good, how kind you are to me. Blessed be Jesus in the most Holy Sacrament of the altar: blessed be his most Sacred heart.
Act of Asking: O Jesus, wash away my sins with your most precious blood. My Jesus, have mercy on your holy church, take care of it. Jesus, bless my mother and my father, my brothers and sisters, and all I ought to pray for, as your kind heart knows how to bless them.
Act of Resolution: O Jesus, accept my poor offering, you have given yourself to me, and now let me give myself to you. I give you my body – keep me pure and chaste. I give you my soul – that it may be free from sin. I give you my heart – that it may always love you. I give you myself in life and in death, that I may be yours forever and ever. Amen .
