The Holy Spirit is a beloved gift given to us from God–sent to live in our hearts to connect us with God and each other.

Your sugarlump is happiest when: You love who you are. You are kind to others. You are proud of yourself. You do the right thing. You help others who need it. You are a good friend.

JESUS is the FRIEND best

Hello!

I am Jesus, The Son of God.

I am a healer, teacher and friend. I performed many miracles on Earth and showed people that My power could only come from God. I taught people to live a good life, forgive each other, and honor God so they could enter heaven. And the only way to reach heaven is by loving Me and following My examples of love, kindness and doing what’s right for yourself and others.

Hello! I am Saint Francis. I was known for my love of nature, especially my love of animals! I preached a lot about animals and wanted all creatures on Earth, including humans, to be treated as equals under God. Some of my sermons were stories about birds, fish, and rabbits. In recent years, many congregations have started to bless pets and other animals as a way to honor my spirit. That makes my heart so happy!

Hello! I am Saint Bernadette.

I was born in 1844 into a very poor family in Lourdes, France. I had many visions of Mary, the Blessed Mother, near a spring in the Grotto of Massabielle. Mary was dressed in blue with wild yellow roses at her feet.

sAINT Thérèse of Lisieux

Little flower

Hi there! I am Saint Thérèse. I loved to follow Jesus in little simple ways, because I was little and couldn’t really do big things. “The Little Way” shows us to do small things with big love. A smile or kind gesture reminds us that people and their graces unite us with God. “God doesn’t look so much at the greatness of our actions, as at the love with which we do them.” -S.T.

Every day, see the “God Moments” around you in even the smallest ways. It reminds you of the love all around us and how we connect to God, each other and all living things. Life is a series of a thousand little miracles. Notice them.

Hello! I am Noah. Back in my day, people did lots of evil things and God wanted to send a great flood to wash it all away. God warned me and my family about the flood, and told me to save one male and one female of every kind of animal. So I loaded all the animals and my family up into the ark I built.

God saved us because we loved Him and wanted to do what He said. After the flood, God made a promise that he would never send such destruction again. The rainbow is a sign of that promise.

Hello, I’m Saint Bakhita!

I was born in Sudan in Africa. In 1869, I was taken from my family at the age of seven, and made a slave. Like Jesus, my life on Earth was filled with pain and suffering. Even so, I decided to spread the peace and joy of Jesus to everyone I met. My life is a reminder that we need to make sure all people, especially girls, are treated with love and respect.
