JUST JESUS AND ME
Guiding children before the Eucharistic Presence of our Lord with Guided Children's Adoration nurtures the children's friendship with Jesus and teaches them how to spend their time with Him. Guided Children's Adoration also prepares children for what they can do when they attend a “regular” time of quiet Eucharistic Adoration.
It is good for children to experience quiet Eucharistic Adoration visits outside of Guided Hours.
How wonderful for our children to be able to be in the same room as our Lord, their greatest friend - sitting and praying with Him, loving Him, and feeling Him love them!
Pope John Paul II said, “Dear young people, like the first disciples, follow Jesus! Do not be afraid to draw near to Him, . . . to speak to Him face to face, as you talk with a friend.”
What a wonderful life long Divine friendship to develop! A friendship our children can turn to no matter what. A place of love and mercy where children can can always meet with Jesus.
Below, you will find downloadable materials to assist children in "regular" quiet times of Eucharistic Adoration - to spend time as Just Jesus and Me.

A 5 or 10 minute sand timer, pencil, and clip board are needed to go along with
My Time with Jesus.
