4 Fire Mass Reflection

RE_Cross.jpg

On Wednesday, it was a bright spring morning when 4 Fire went to Mass at the Sacred Heart Church. Father Praveen led us in a peaceful and relaxing Mass. 

In his homily, Father told us we should be open to God’s love. He reminded us that if we’re closed we still have God’s love, but we don’t receive it. He also asked about how we felt and changed when we received the Holy Communion. At the end of the Mass, some of us accepted the Body of Christ and the others received a blessing.

Luca - I enjoyed when Father Praveen asked us about our experience receiving our First Eucharist.

Natalie - I liked learning more about Holy Communion.

Amelia - When I received the Body of Christ it felt more comfortable, because I had already done it before. 

Beau - When I got blessed I felt happy and warm.

Imogen - The main message I took away from the Mass was that we should all be open to God’s love.

Chloe - I learned that when we are open to God we receive Him, but when we are closed we don’t receive Him, but he still loves us.
