Today was a very fruitful visit with the kids, sharing about how Jesus is the best gift we will receive this Christmas. The 1st and 2nd graders did a procession to Mary, carrying a flower they made to gift to her. We sang the "Hail Mary" as we processed. They all participated very well and were revenant and excited about their gift to Our Blessed Mother.
We are praying for the children, the JPII staff, and the families!
May you have a blessed Advent season and continue to prepare your heart for His coming.
