First Communion (26)

Jesus gives Holy Communion to a young boy and girl dressed in their First Communion attire, inside a church. Although it is the priest who physically gives Holy Communion, he does so in persona Christi — in the person of Christ — so it is truly Jesus giving Himself to the communicant. This image is ideal for catechists, Catholic school teachers, and families to help children understand the significance of the Holy Eucharist, the meaning of the Mass, and the unity of the Body of Christ. A wonderful resource for sacramental preparation and deepening Eucharistic faith.
