Jesus My Friend!
This is a special time of prayer and spending time with Jesus. Remember that Jesus loves you and is your friend. Let’s spend time talking to my friend Jesus.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Close your eyes and take 3 deep breaths, breathing in and out three times
Then speak to your friend Jesus and tell him:
What would you like to thank him for today?
What is making you happy today?
What is making you sad today?
Conclude with the sign of the cross
