Today, Zephyrinus had the privilege and honour of being present at the First Holy Communion of one little girl.

The Mass was a Missa Cantata (Mass Setting IV), for the English and Welsh Martyrs. A beautiful Mass for this Little One to approach the Altar Rails and receive Our Lord for the first time.

The Second Collect was a Commemoration of Saint Monica (mother of Saint Augustine of Hippo), who Prayed fervently for her child to come to God; a divine encapsulation of the Little One, today, doing exactly the same thing.

The Celebrant informed the Congregation of the ability to receive a Plenary Indulgence (subject to the usual conditions), when attending a First Holy Communion Mass. He then turned to the Little One and, respectfully and gently, requested that she Pray for us all. Her Prayers would carry great weight on this her special day, he said.

May God Bless this Little One and her family.
