| Statue of Saint Maria Soledad at the Vatican |
History
Sister Maria Soledad worked with
the poor and sick in Madrid, Spain. One of her favorite things to do with the children
was to help them have little processions in honor of the Lord’s blessed mother.
She would also take care of the sick people in the neighborhood. Her religious
community had a lot of problems – the sisters themselves were practically
starving – but when Sister Maria Soledad was put in charge, things began to
improve.
Activity
Kids love to have parades, so teach
them the time-honored tradition of a religious procession. Gather up any images
you have of Christ and Our Lady, and sing your kids’ favorite hymn (or play a
recording of it) as the children process around the house or around the block.
If you are lucky to live close to your parish, process to church and take a few
minutes to pray before you head back home.
