Our last session of the year was spent meditating on Pentecost and the gifts of the Holy Spirit - it is always a joy to watch the children as they ponder which gift they should ask for at the present moment. In the level 2 atrium, knowledge and wisdom were very popular - 6 to 9 year olds are intent on figuring out all they can about this wonderful word God has created for us.
CCC 1831 The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord.
I've noticed that the younger children often tend to focus on awe (fear of the Lord) and fortitude. Perhaps they still recognize their littleness and long for strength.
Later in the week, I'll try to post some photos of the May crowing. Thanks to the Helping Hands for providing roses this year! The children were excited to carry these beautiful flowers to honor Our Lady.
May the peace of Christ fill your family with joy and hope this summer ~ Beate
