At the conclusion of Jesus’ rapid-fire parables about the kingdom of heaven, he says, “Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” As I read these words in the gospel, there sitting on my desk in the KidsRelilg office was a card Lily Schoonmaker (3rd Grade KidsRelig) gave me last week after Mass. On one side of the card was a star with the word “Shine.” On the other, was this prayer:
Jesus,
Like a shining star
Shining like a light to the path of heaven,
Shine like a star.
You are the star of my heart.
It looks like Lily knew what was coming up in this week’s gospel. And I’m so glad she shared it with me, and I could share it with you. Thanks, Lily.

NEW TO KIDSRELIG???
If registering a First Grader for 2011-12 or older kids for the first time, please, send me an email as a heads-up. This is NOT registration.
