Wave upon wave of white frilly froth sailed slowly and spiritually towards the altar.
On reaching there, the waves bifurcated and settled on either side accompanied by strains of music.
A hundred and forty-three children of an impressionable age received Jesus in their hearts in a Holy Communion at the Saints Peter and Paul Church in Ruwi on 3rd May, 2014.
...
A petite pretty girl walked to the altar and sang in a childish lilt -
"Into my heart
Into my heart
Come into my heart, Jesus,
Come in today
Come in to stay
Come into my heart, Jesus."
...
As Anna opened her mouth to receive the circular white wafer that symbolically represented the body of Jesus, the children's choir vibrantly sang "Shine, Jesus, Shine!"
It was one of her favourite hymns and Anna wanted to sing too. She closed her mouth and sang in her heart as she experienced the novelty of the mystery that she had heard about for a long time.
...
The children sang -
"God is dwelling in my heart
He and I are one..."
The parents, friends, godparents and other guests who had come to Muscat for this special occasion, joined along in the singing as they remembered the day they had received their First Holy Communion.
