In the words of the children...
- I was speaking about Baptism with several children in the Level I (CH) Atrium when a younger child, age 4, approached, holding a crucifix, saying, "This is God and He put the fire in us." She then walked away and returned to her work.
- When presenting the first moment of Baptism to the Level I (CH) children last spring each child was sitting with a lit candle near him as a reminder of the light received at his Baptism. One child said, "It's like the path of light for the people who walked in darkness."
- After lighting the Paschal Candle and Individual Baptismal Candle for a child who had set up the Baptism area on his own, the five-year-old began to speak about his grandma who had died and was now with Jesus.
- A Level III (E2) child asked what title she could use when writing the Prayer for the Invocation of the Holy Spirit over the Waters of Baptism. "Invocation" or "Epiclesis" was suggested. She returned later to show she had chosen to title this prayer, "The Great Prayer." Amen!!
