4. ~~~ Welcome ~~~ Dear Parents, It is my privilege to welcome you today. A privilege to be present at the ceremony when your child takes the body of Christ for the first time. This is a very important step in the life of every Christian; it is from this point on that every Christian adheres to a central tenet of the Catholic Faith. Let us remember the importance of the faith in our own lives. Without it the essential spiritual dimension would be missing from our lives. Many thanks to everyone who has helped to make this day so special for the children on their First Communion day.

5. Please Remember to… • Switch off all phones. • Not to take photos or videos during the Mass. • Join in the singing. • Subtitles will be provided.

23. An Chéad Léacht / First reading Gliondar Iáras Bhí ríméad ar Iáras agus Hannah nuair a rugadh iníon dóibh. Thug siad Abigail uirthi. D’ fhás sí agus d’fhás sí. Bhí bród orthu nuair a thóg sí a céad choischéim, nuair a dúirt sí a céad fhocal, agus nuair a bhí sí ag fás níos airde agus níos airde. Bhí gliondar orthu nuair a bhíodh sí ag imirt agus ag déanamh gáire lena cairde. Nuair a bhí sise sásta, bhí siadsan sásta leis.

24. Ach lá amháin, nuair a bhí Abigail dhá bhliana déag d’aois, stop an gáire agus an sport. Chuaigh Abigail isteach ina seomra léi féin. Luigh sí siar ar a leaba. Dhruid sí a súile. Bhí a fhios ag Iáras agus Hannah go raibh cuidiú de dhíth orthu. Chuaigh Iáras go dtí Íosa agus dúirt sé “Góitse go tapa.” Tháinig Íosa ach dúirt na comharsan, “Tá tú ró-mhall.” Chuaigh Íosa isteach i seomra Abigail agus rug sé lámh uirthi. Ghaoigh sé uirthi, “A chailín bhig, éirigh!” D’amharc Iáras agus Hannah le hiontas nuair a d’oscail sí a súile, rinne sí miongháire agus d’éirigh sí amach as an leapa. “Rinne Dia rudaí iontacha domh,” arsa Hannah. “Is beannaithe ainm Dé,” a d’fheagair Iáras. Sin é Briathar Dé Pobal:Buíochas le Dia

28. An Dara Léacht / Second reading A reading from the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians (11:23-26 ) On the night before he was betrayed. And it came from the Lord himself. He took some bread in his hands. Then after he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is given up for you. Eat this and remember me.”

29. After the meal, Jesus took a cup of wine in his hands and said, “This is my blood, and with it God makes his new agreement with you. Drink this and remember me.” The Lord meant that when you eat this bread and drink from this cup, you tell about his death until he comes. Sin é Briathar Dé Pobal:Buíochas le Dia

32. People were bringing little children to him for him to bless them. But the disciples turned tem away. When Jesus saw what was happening he said, “Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; bring them to me. Do you not know that they are among God the Father’s closest friends.” The children were brought to him. He greeted them warmly and gave them his blessing.

47. Father we ask you to bless these gifts of bread and wine and make them holy. Change them for us into the body and blood of Jesus Christ, your Son.
