- "My Lord Shepherd." (3 year old, praying after the candles were lit at the Model Altar.)
- "Bless us O Lord... because Jesus gave us the best gift!" (3 year old, praying after the candles were lit at the Model Altar.)
- Prayer at the model altar (3 year old) “Thank you for blessing me. Thank you for the great ideas. Thank you for making the sheep happy.”
- When asked, “What could we say to Jesus?” after preparing the model altar, a 3 year old sat quietly for a moment, then, blew a big kiss, bringing her hand from her mouth to high into the air!
- Child (3) at the Model Altar with her “Litany of Thanks.” After each “thank you” I responded “Amen” and she when immediately into the next prayer: “Thank you God for family. Thank you God for blankies. Thank you God for Mom and Dad. Thank you God for Jesus dying on the cross. Thank you God for 'Show and Share.' Thank you God for lovely baskets. Thank you God for friends who are nice. Thank you God for beautiful people. Thank you God for “bath-es.” Thank you God for beds that are comfortable. Thank you God for family.” And then she promptly extinguished the candles.
