Here are the best-loved Catholic prayers brought together in a kid-appealing package. With Bishop Robert Morneau as editor, parents and teachers can be reassured this is a trustworthy source of enduring Catholic beliefs. At the same time the all-new illustrations provide an up-to-the-minute contemporary feel while suggesting new meanings for these traditional works.
Adults will recognize the same devotions they learned in their own childhood--from the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary, to the Apostles' Creed and Act of Contrition, from the Acts of Faith, Hope, and Love, to prayers to Mary, Joseph, and one's Guardian Angel. In all, twenty prayers help children grow in faith, knowledge, and love of the Lord. The two-color illustrations combine striking images with detailed pen-and-ink work.
This collection should be in every Catholic home, school, and parish office, as well in Catholic hospitals. Ideal for kids aged four to eight, it makes a perfect gift for First Communion--yet can also be given at baptism to begin the child on his or her lifelong practice of prayer.
