Today we headed to Marci’s home for this week’s:
Summer with the Saints
The month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In addition, the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is celebrated on the Friday following the Second Sunday after Pentecost, which will be June 19th this year. So, this week’s Summer with the Saints was given in honor of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Here is an overview of our afternoon:

Jesus, meek and humble of heart,
Make our hearts like unto Thine.
Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
When my kids were little, I used to think I was the most energetic and crafty mom around. You have me beat by a million miles! Love your site, keep up the great job with the kiddos-they will have tons of great memories to share with their own kids and will keep passing the faith down the line! Awesome!
How were those large hearts done, it looks like paint, or sprayed paint, or water paint?
What a great day!
Yes, Jessica, I use you like my idea books, I can't do everything you do, but I can pick some of the things and do them! You are amazing!
I think Marci got the idea for the tye-died Sacred Heart "flags" (as my boys now call them) here:

It is so much fun!! My kids love it! Marci is so creative and so gifted at these get togethers. The kids learn so much.
