SHARING THE GOSPEL Peter, James, and John saw white rays of light glow all around Jesus. When you are baptized, God's light of forgiveness glows from your soul. It erases all the sin. Every morning, God sends his grace to help you start each day as a new person. God's grace helps you to stay away from evil. It's like a lunch box God gives you every day of your life. Pick it up on your way out the door.
PRAYER Lord, help me forgive those who hurt me.
SOMETHING TO DRAW Draw your lunch box from God and include the things you need.
