Dearest Ruth Carmela Zamielle,
Before anything else, I would like to thank the Lord God
for giving us the most wonderful blessing in the world- YOU. Ruth Carmela Zamielle, you are the best
gift God has ever given to me and your mommy. You have been an amazing child
not only to us your parents but to your grandparents as well. And for that, we
would like to praise and thank God.
Today is a very special day and we are celebrating it
because Our Lord Jesus is coming to you as you are going to Him. I am sure you
are as excited as we are but guess what! Jesus is even more excited to receive
you. He had his eyes on you even before you were born. He loves you and so He
gave you the gift of life.
Many years ago, I was also in your shoes, nervous with my
first ever encounter with the Lord. I
can no longer remember the exact day I took my first communion but I can still
clearly remember what happened during that day. Like you, I was also curious if
I was ready to receive God as our Lord and Savior, or if I was even worthy to
receive Him. I kept on asking myself if I have been a bad kid, or did I do
something to offend Jesus. But I was taught that Jesus always forgives and no
matter how we think we have sinned against Him, if we ask for his forgiveness,
He will always accept us. So do not worry because you are His child, as all of
us are, and He will accept you if you seek Him. He is God and His love for His
children including you, is pure and everlasting. So leave all your worries
behind and accept Him the way we did many years ago and until today.
You are a child of God and I hope you will always remain
close to Him. Always pray to Him the way we- your parents, grandparents and
teachers, have taught you. Do not ever forget to call on Him especially when
you need someone to talk to. Talk to him when you are sad and whenever you are
happy- especially when you are happy. Thank him for everything that you have
and praise Him for giving you the gift of life. Bring all your worries to Him.
Pray for us, your parents, grandparents and all your friends and loved ones.
Pray for your Daddy-Lo for God to heal him and make him strong again.
He will always guide you especially in the most difficult
times. He will always be there for you wherever you are and whenever you need
Him. We, your parents and loved ones might not always be there for you but the
Lord will always be your constant companion if you always talk to Him. Always
be grateful for His blessings because He recognizes those who know how to give
Him thanks.
Your mommy and I are so proud to what you have become. We
know that God has grand plans for you so always trust in His wisdom. Let Him
always lead the way for you especially when you feel like you are lost and
confused. He will never fail you because He loves you very much. All you need
to do is to trust in Him and love Him with all your life the way we have entrusted
you to His loving care and protection.
We
hope that you will forever remember today, your First Holy Communion, the way
you would remember your birthday. If there is a gift that you should value and
take care of, it is this gift from God because He gave you this opportunity to
be with Him in your life. Always remember that His love is the greatest of all
Love.
We love you very much and you are the joy of our
lives. May God bless you today and all
days of your life.
Lovingly,
Mommy
and Daddy
