FIRST COMMUNION: June 6, 2010

Closer my God, to Thee....

Wrapt is my soul in sweet amaze: Jesus, My God, is MINE!




Sweet Sacrament we Thee adore...
Oh, make us love Thee more and more.

BAPTISM: June 5

By the grace of God
two children from the households of mission patients were baptized today.

And to a sick little patient who was given emergency baptism at the city hospital,
the ceremony of Baptism was supplied.

"..to as many as received Him He gave the power of becoming the sons of God; to those that believe in His Name: who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God..." (St. John 1:12-13)

FIRST COMMUNION, MAY 16

Ten children from the different mission areas received their First Communion on May 16, 2010 at St. James Chapel. These children were either patients or siblings or grandchildren of patients from the various medical missions. What a blessed, joyful day!

"Soul of my Savior, sanctify my breast"

"Body of Christ, be Thou my saving Guest..."

These children were among the 80 catechism pupils who were preparing for First Communion. Having passed the evaluation, they received the Sacrament ahead of the others.

These three little boys posing with Mathilde and Aldy, their catechist, (also a mission patient)
are hoping to be among the next group who will receive their First Communion.
