This week your child learned about God the Holy Spirit, the third
Person of the Blessed Trinity. The Holy Spirit is the
Helper Jesus promised to send His disciples. After the
death of Jesus, the disciples were filled with doubt,
fear, and regret. But when the Holy Spirit came upon
them on Pentecost, they were filled with confidence and
courage to proclaim openly and fearlessly their faith in
Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit helps us every day to live
and witness to our faith in Jesus Christ.
A Picture Story
Talk with your child about times when he or she might need the help
of the Holy Spirit. Invite your child to draw one of
these times. Have your child tell about the drawing.
Encourage your child to ask the Holy Spirit for help in
times like these.
A
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and enkindle in
them the fire of Your love.
