Consecration of the Family to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary
Most holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
united in perfect love,
as you look upon us with mercy and caring,
we consecrate our hearts,
our lives, our family to you.
We know the beautiful example
of your home in Nazareth was meant to be
a model for each of our families.
We hope to have,
with your help,
the unity and strong,
enduring love you gave to one another.
May our home be filled with joy.
May sincere affection, patience,
tolerance and mutual respect be freely given to all.
May our prayers be filled with the needs of others,
not just ourselves

as well as those who are absent,
both the living and the dead;
may peace be among us
and when we are tested,
grant us the Christian acceptance of God's will.
Keep our family close to your Hearts;
may your special protection be with us always.

AND___HOLY WEEK IS COMING!!! I have wanted to do a Christian Seder meal, like we did years ago with our friends the Lombardo's. With John's schedule I need to just do these things on my own....SOOOOO I am thinking of a daytime, child friendly Seder on Holy Thurdsday, maybe from 1-3 pm or noon-2. It would involve prayers and eating--and we would share responsibility for bringing the different foods that symbolize the first passover. Anyone interested? ALSO--I have my own pysanki egg kit now, so I can decorate and dye eggs whenever I want to. This is not a young child friendly activity since
we work with raw eggs and toxic dye and fire--fun!!! Does anyone want to come over with their older children and join in the egg decorating fun on evening this week or next?
When are you planning on the egg decorating? I'm interested. Holy Thursday we are planning on Mass at Prince of Peace so the Seder meal will be pushing it for us on Holy Thursday although I love the idea.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the new look on the blog. You must have had a great time making all those eggs!
