Saint Rosalie by Martin Feuerstein |
History
Saint Rosalia was born into an important family. When
she was still a young girl, she realized that Jesus was all that mattered to
her. She left her beautiful home and moved into a cave, where she stayed hidden
from the world and spent all her time praying to Jesus.
Activity
Rosalia understood that there were a lot of distractions
in her life that could get in the way of her friendship with Jesus. We all have
many distractions – friends and family, books and games, school, television and
so much more. Today, let each child make a “cave” to stay in for a little while
to keep away from all the distractions of the world. It can be an indoor tent
or a sheet thrown over a folding table or anything else you can think of. Don’t
take any toys or books into your “cave.” It should be just you and Jesus. You
might find it hard to stay in the cave for very long, but you should try it for
a little while. Remember, we all need some quiet time with Jesus without distractions.
Saint Rosalia, pray for us!
