In the words of the children...
- "Thank you, Jesus!" (Four-year-old girl)
- "It's so bright!" (Five-year-old girl)
- "It's like a pathway of light to the Light of Jesus!" (Six-year-old boy)
- "You can keep the garment clean by being nice. If you had no marks on it when you die that would be so beautiful!" (Six-year-old boy)
- After the Paschal candle and Baptismal candle had been lit, a five-year-old boy began talking about his grandma, who had died: "My grandma is with Jesus in heaven and one day I will see her there because we both have Jesus' light in us."
Upon entering the Level II or Lower Elementary Atrium, all of these gifts are placed in the order in which they are received through the Rite of Baptism and the children, after laying out the cards representing these moments in order, use them to recall the Rite in groups of two or three at a time, reading shortened versions of the prayers of the priest. Some children even choose to write and illustrate their own Baptism Missal!
