Hints of Grace
25 Apr
For the last four years I have volunteered at Holy Trinity Catholic Church & School as a catechist for the religious education program forming young adults. Classes are offered twice a week on Wednesdays evening and Sunday afternoon during the regular school year. My wife and I, Heather, teach the Wednesday class. This year we moved up from teaching second to third grade sacramental kids (i.e., they receive both reconciliation and first communion in the Spring).
The highlight of the year, without a doubt, was seeing these children of God, claimed by him during baptism, receive holy communion for the first time. I was overjoyed by the visible ceremony, but internally I could sense an extraordinary grace that imbued all of them. They have moved one step further in the natural progression as foot soldiers for Christ. Let us pray their parents remain steady in the fight against evil and deliver each child consistently and without fail to God’s house on Sunday .
