We all like to carry pictures of our loved ones so that we may feel close to them. Religious objects work in the same way. A crucifix reminds us of Jesus' great sacrifice and love for us. We remember a certain saint when we see their picture and they help us to think and pray better. Saints were people just like us. Now they are in Heaven. God wants us to honour them. We should not only pray to them but imitate their love for Christ.
This week's definition:
RELIC: An object connected with a saint, such as a part of the body or clothes. A relic is holy.
This week's prayer:
PRAYER FOR PEACE
Lord Jesus Christ, we praise You. Bring peace into the world by bringing Your peace into the hearts of all. Help us to turn away from sin and to follo you in love and service. Glory be yours for ever and ever. Amen +
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

You can have them identify different patron saints or find out stories of relics and miracles attributed to them (i.e.- St. Janurius).
