My First Communion Day

My First Communion Day

Today was the most special day ever—my First Communion! I’ve been waiting for this day for so long, and it finally happened. When I woke up, I was so excited I could hardly sit still. Mom had laid out my white robe, and it was so soft and beautiful. I loved how it had my name on it. It felt so special, like it was made just for me!

Before we went to the church, I wore the coolest t-shirt with my name and the date of my Communion on it. It even had a little picture of a cartoon girl in a beautiful dress just like mine! I loved wearing it while I got ready and took pictures with my family. Granny said she’s going to keep it forever, even after I outgrow it.

When we got to the church, everything felt so big and important. My heart was beating fast when it was time to walk up and receive the Eucharist for the first time. I had practiced so much, but I was still nervous. But once I did it, I felt so peaceful, like I was really a part of something bigger than me.

After church, we had a little party at home, and I got so many beautiful gifts. My godmother gave me a Communion doll that said my name and todays date and she was even wearning a dress that looked just like mine! Her hair was even blonde like mine, and I’m going to keep her in my room to remember today. My aunt and uncle gave me a picture frame with my name and the date of my Communion on it. I’m going to put a photo of me in my robe and veil in there—it’s going to look perfect on my nightstand! Mom and Dad got me a mug with the same cartoon on it as my t-shirt, and such a pretty watch. I think it makes me look very grown up.

I feel so blessed today, like I’ve taken a really big step in my faith. And I love that I have all these special gifts to remind me of it, especially my t-shirt and robe with my name on them. It makes everything feel so personal, like today was truly my day.

I can’t wait to tell my friends about everything at school tomorrow! Today was amazing, and I’ll never forget it. ❤️

Love,
