Pope Benedict XVI to children preparing for Holy Communion: As for the question, of course I remember my First Communion day very well. It was a lovely Sunday in March 1936, 69 years ago. It was a sunny day, the church looked very beautiful, there was music.  There were so many beautiful things that I remember. There were about 30 of us, boys and girls from my little village of no more than 500 inhabitants .

But at the heart of my joyful and beautiful memories is this one  –  and your spokesperson said the same thing: I understood that Jesus had entered my heart, he had actually visited me. And with Jesus, God himself was with me. And I realized that this is a gift of love that is truly worth more than all the other things that life can give .

So on that day I was really filled with great joy, because Jesus came to me and I realized that a new stage in my life was beginning, I was 9 years old, and that it was henceforth important to stay faithful to that encounter, to that communion. I promised the Lord as best I could: I always want to stay with you, and I prayed to him, but above all, stay with me. So I went on living my life like that; thanks be to God, the Lord has always taken me by the hand and guided me, even in difficult situations .
