God, give peace to the people
Keith (age 8) wrote this prayer for an Epiphany celebration at his school. It was written a few months after September 11, during the war in Afghanistan.
"God, give peace to the people.
God, please give peace to the whole world.
God, please fill the hearts of people with joy and peace."
"God, give peace to the people.
God, please give peace to the whole world.
God, please fill the hearts of people with joy and peace."

Give Peace to the People
"God, give peace to the people.
God, please give peace to the whole world.
God, please fill the hearts of people with joy and peace."
Keith, 8-years-old, wrote this prayer to be part of the children's Epiphany liturgy. It was written in the aftermath of 9/11/01, during the war on Afghanistan.

Wonder and Awe
Quinn, age 7, chose the readings and songs for our Pentecost Mass. For the first reading, he had chosen the story of the Magi. It seemed a little out of season, but then I realized it made a nice connection to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, so I mentioned that the magi brought gifts to Jesus, and we receive gifts from the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. Then we did the presentation where each child selects a "gift" and lights a candle from that gift's candle.
We returned to the atrium after Mass for an "Open house" work period;' We asked the children to show their parents some of their favorite materials. It was a little chaotic because there were refreshments and tons of people, but the children ate their cake and then set to work.
Cole, 5, who has Down Syndrome, chose the Adoration of the Magi. He took the materials out of the box and then pointed emphatically at me and then at a chair next to his: he wanted me to read the Scripture booklet.
As I was reading, Colin, also 5, stopped and listened, then said, "Oh! Wonder and awe! That's one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It's the one the three kings had." And then he walked away.
