Let us ask our VBS Saint of the Day (Mary Queen of All Saints) to pray for us. Mary Queen of All Saints, pray for us.
Let us pray:
Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

THEME OF THE DAY
Show a large wrapped gift box. Who can tell me what I am holding? (a gift or a present) Who likes to receive gifts? Theme: The Mass is a GIFT that Jesus wants us to love and cherish.
