Have you heard that the Holy Father will be consecrating the youth to the Sacred Heart of Jesus at World Youth Day? Our pilgrims are so excited! They have worked very hard and have been incredibly blessed to raise enough money, after 2 years of fund raising, to cover their entire trip. My dear husband and a few other adult chaperones are leading about 20 pilgrims, including our 17yo son, to WYD in Spain this August. Everyone is joyfully preparing for this special spiritual journey. Just for fun, we attempted to make a giant Sacred Heart Sugar Cookie. It wasn't quite as fancy as the cake we made last year but it tasted good! If you know other pilgrims who are attending WYD or if you would like to pray a long with everyone there, be sure to order the Magnificat WYD Pilgrim Guide. It's only $6.95 with shipping and handling.
We baked this cookie for the Immaculate Heart of Mary today:D

~Superboy (Age 7) did the Sacred Heart of Jesus folder~
We talked about the meaning of the Sacred Heart and he copied a little prayer onto some cut-out hearts. Shhh, I didn't tell him that this was good summer writing practice!
Congratulations Tiffany!! Your children did a wonderful job with those Liturgical Folders! I a amazed at how well your little one colored Mary!!

Gardenia has done such a lovely job putting together her faith folders. I would love to be a "youth" again. Hooray for those who are and know what they need through their faith! Your kiddos did a great job on the folders and I thought Angel Baby did an awesome job with her coloring.
ReplyDeleteHi Tiffany!
ReplyDeleteYour kids did a super job on these folders. I really need to read your site and use all these great ideas since we didn't do anything to celebrate the Sacred Hearts (and our homeschool is named Sacred Heart Academy) shame on me!
PS: Love the heart cookie and may your son and husband have a wonderful time at WYD! What an amazing experience that will be! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled for you that your son and husband are going to WYD in Spain. what a marvelous pilgrimage. oh to be there!!! Lovelove the cookies, and thanks for linking to my folders. I must say, I love your coloring pages. i don't think I had those pages in my folders. please do share where you found those coloring pages. God bless.
ReplyDeleteI love the folders! I want to do some of them with my boys too.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible experience for your dh and son to be able to attend WYD. I am sure that it will be a life changing experience!
Glad you got the booklets- both of them are near and dear to my heart. When I am having a hard time dragging my tushy out of bed during the week for mass, reading the mass booklet is all I need to get motivated. The Holy Name of Jesus book was life changing for me- that little prayer can mean so much. I hope you enjoy them as I much as I do.
You are doing such a great job teaching your children about Our Faith! They will grow up with a good moral foundation and be beacons of light to others! That's so exciting that your husband and son are going to WYD! God Bless!
