First Communion is considered one of the holiest and most important occasions in a Roman Catholic person's life. It is the first time a person receives the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, which is eating consecrated bread and drinking consecrated wine. Let us pray for our First Holy Communion children: Lord Jesus, Bless the children coming forward to receive Holy Communion for the first time. May this day be an initial step into a life-long love of the Eucharist. Give them a hunger for this sacred food so that they turn to You for comfort, guidance, and wisdom as they grow into full discipleship.
