Memory Work- Where we are




Boo has learned the following:
All memory work up to lesson 65, in First Language Lessons, minus one poem because I wanted to do a different version.

O Sacrament Most Holy
Act of Faith
The Pledge of Allegiance
Act of Hope
Eternal Rest
O Come O Come Emmanuel

Up and coming: We'll be learning the Act of Charity (and other basic prayers to prepare for 1st Holy Communion), An Advent/Christmas poem, and a few other little moral, Mother-Goose type rhymes. We will also be learning more of the Stabat Mater during Lent-- I think this is turning into a tradition.

Here is the Advent Poem, with special thanks to MO, for sending it to me.

Like foolish folk of old I would not be,
Who had no room that night for
Him and thee.
See, Mother Mary, here within my heart
I've made a little
shrine for Him apart;
Swept it of sin, and cleansed it with all care;
Warmed it with love and scented it with prayer.
So, Mother, when the
Christmas anthems start,
Please let me hold your baby--in my heart.

Sr. Maryanna, O.P.
