Maria and the Lambs

Maria LOVED soft, wooly lambs!

“Someday I’ll take care of them,”
she smiled in her heart.

Maria’s father told her stories
about a very Special Lamb:
the PASCHAL LAMB!

“Jesus is the Paschal Lamb,
another name for EASTER LAMB.”

“Like a gentle lamb he bled and died
that we might go to Heaven.”

Tears came to Maria’s eyes
to think of such a loving Lamb.

Maria followed her heart
and grew up to care for lambs:
the poor people of Jesus’ flock.

You are SPECIAL
Still TODAY she takes care of you and me!
“YOU ARE SPECIAL!” Maria says.
(and really means it!)

PRAYER
Blest be the Blood of Jesus Christ!
(This tiny prayer scares the devil off the fastest
because he hates to hear the words that DEFEATED him.
Say it when he’s bothering you!)
