Do not worry if they get fussy or distracted. You are doing holy work by bringing them close to Jesus.
During the “Ecce Agnus Dei,” the priest lifts the Host and says, “Behold the Lamb of God.”
This is a beautiful moment to draw your child close and whisper, “Look. What do you see?”
Let their imagination run toward Jesus. Let their eyes search for Him with joy.
