Looking back on any significant event always gives us greater
awareness and appreciation for the past experience. The same is
true with your child's celebration of Eucharist. Through
reflection on the experience and the rituals in the liturgy, we
are able to clarify and extend the meaning of the celebration of
the sacrament. Therefore, following the celebration of first
communion, take some time together to discuss your
recollections. - What do you remember about the celebration of
the sacrament? - When you picture the celebration in your mind,
what was most special to you? - How did you feel? - What does
this experience tell you about God? - What does this experience
tell you about Jesus? - What does this experience tell you about
the Holy Spirit? - Now that you have celebrated first communion,
how will you act differently? - Parents: How was your faith
affirmed as you prepared for and celebrated this sacrament with
your child?
