BEAUTY AND THE BEAST NAME CEREMONY
It has been said, that the child is the meaning of this life.
Today we celebrate the child.
This new life which has been brought into our world,
We welcome the child with love.
That she may be able to love,
We welcome the child with gifts,
That she may learn generosity,
And we welcome the child with a name, on which I believe Matisse has decided.
					(Lena)
HER NAME IS CATHERINE.
