HOW DO WE SURROUND OUR CHILDREN WITH A HEALTHY ATMOSPHERE FOR NURTURING FAITH?

by building rapport and establishing trusting relationships with them

by expressing love in the home and in the context of the faith community

by talking about and helping them to discover God through nature, at table, and at play, and through the beauty of creation and daily life

by reading and talking about stories with spiritual themes and exploring Bible stories and children’s prayer books

by establishing healthy relationships and environments in school, home and church

by surrounding them with healthy God-talk through labeling, expressions of thanksgiving, appreciation, and gratitude

by nurturing them emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually ! by encouraging their interaction with the art

Leader: Come! Let us celebrate the supper of our Lord,

People: Let us all together Bake a giant loaf

Leader: And together prepare the jars of wine As at the wedding feast in Cana.

People: Let the daughters not forget the salt

Nor the sons the leaven.

Leader: And let us invite many guests:

People: The lame, the blind, the deaf,

The poor.

Leader: Quickly now!

Let us follow the recipe of our Lord,

Let us together knead the dough with our hands

People: And watch with joy

The rising Bread.

Leader: Because today we are celebrating

our commitment to Christ Jesus.

People: Today we are renewing our commitment

To the kingdom,

All: And no one shall go hungry away. Amen
