Reviewing the Land of Israel map with a five year old girl (a material presented a year ago to the child), the adult pointed to Nazareth and asked the child what she remembered about that city. The child responded, "That's where Mary said 'Yes!'"
When invited to pray at the Model Altar, a four year old girl said, "Thank you for the light. Thank you for the world. Thank you for the darkness so that we can sleep at night."
A five year old girl was working with the materials which relate to the Birth of Jesus and the Adoration of the Shepherds. An adult invited her to ponder what Mary was thinking when the shepherds arrived and asked to see baby Jesus. She responded, "She was thinking about when the angel told her she would be the mother of Jesus!"
After being introduced to the additional items of the Lectionary, Ambo, Tabernacle, Ciborium, and Sanctuary Lamp at the Model Altar, a four year old boy prayed, "Thank you for being the Light. Thank you for being the Word."
