Little Lamb of Jesus First Holy Communion Treats and Novena
It has been a blessing to make our final preparations for First Holy Communion during the Easter Season. So many of the symbols that coincide with the season are also applicable to First Holy Communion. There are so many different foods, treats, and candies that can be made. Many of the ideas from the Good Shepherd Garden Parties can be used as well. I just wanted to share this idea that can also be used a long with a lovely First Holy Communion Novena that is free to download online. It is called the Little Lamb of Jesus First Holy Communion Novena with St. Therese of Lisieux. We are enjoying this immensely! If you have a lamb cookie cutter, this would make the perfect simple treat to accompany the final days of the novena with your child.

A beautiful excerpt from Day 4 of the Novena:
"When you receive your First Holy Communion you will carry Jesus with you in your heart. He carries you on His shoulders, a Shepherd with His little lamb. That is the strength of Jesus with arms like steel to lean upon. He is a special friend in all the fun and not so fun times in your life."
