Let the children come to me
This window is
centered on the event in the life of Jesus as recorded in Luke 15: 15-17. People were bringing even infants to
him
That he might touch them, and when the disciples saw this, they
rebuked them. Jesus, however, called the children to himself and said, ÒLet the
children come to me and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of God belongs to
such as these. Amen I say to you, whoever
Does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.Ó
Above
the central image is the Holy Spirit. Above the Holy Spirit is the cross that
is flanked on each side by two diamond shapes that represents the four cardinal
virtues of temperance, prudence, justice and fortitude. In the outer frame are
twenty bright blue circles that represent the Holy Rosary, which is a
contemplative prayer on the life of Jesus and Mary while on earth and now their
life of glory in heaven. In between the rosary beads are eighteen diamond like
shapes that represents the guardian angels of little children. Below the
central image are two ovals. The
oval under the central image contains an image of the Eucharist under both
species that is the gift of himself that children can now receive after
instruction, preparation and first confession at the age of reason.
