Please Don’t Drop the Host: A Mother’s Prayer
As I sat in the pew, watching my son climb the steps into the Sanctuary to receive his First Holy Communion alongside his cousin, I prayed a prayer I’m sure parents the world over have prayed at every single First Holy Communion ever: “Dear God, please don’t let him drop the Host.” Repeated, over and over, in my mind until it was done and he was back in the pew beside...
