Let St. Joseph Teach You How to Love Jesus as He Did
St. Joseph was chosen by God to care for and protect the Savior
of the world and His mother-to be head of the Holy Family. Yet
Scripture does not record a single word this great saint spoke; we
must take our lessons of his life from his actions. In this
compilation of stories and poems about our Savior's foster-father,
Catholic children of all ages are encouraged to imitate the virtues
the life of St. Joseph reveal to us in his loving dedication to
Jesus and Mary.
Through stories by such renowned authors as Sr. Margaret
Patrice, Wilfrid Sheed, Catherine Beebe, Sr. Mary Charitas, and
Mary Mannix and poems by Rev. Edward F. Garesche, Sister M. Imelda
Wallace, Rev. Gerald M. C. Fitzgerald, and Rev. Frederick Faber,
children are sure to acquire a greater understanding of-and
devotion to-the earthly father of Jesus. The discussion questions
as well as the reflections on the virtues of St. Joseph lead
children to apply the lessons of this saint's life to their own.
The concluding section of this book contains prayers to St. Joseph,
a short litany for children, prayers for the Nine First Wednesdays
of St. Joseph, and an Act of Consecration to St. Joseph.
Let us enthusiastically join St. Teresa of Avila who declared:
"I wish I could persuade everyone to be devoted to this glorious
saint "
This treasure of a book, originally published in 1921, was written
in response to a student s appeal for instructions along with
little stories to help her prepare for Holy Communion. To fulfill
this request, Mother Loyola of the Bar Convent in York, England,
wrote a simple story that illustrates Jesus desire to share an
intimate relationship with each one of His children. Although
written many years ago for a young child, this book remains a
masterpiece of timeless Catholic literature suitable for all ages.
This edition has some updated language, but quite deliberately,
does not contain any pictures. Readers, as they progress through
this story, will form a mental image of their King, one as unique
and personal as their own relationship with Him. The study sections
assist with the allegory, connect to Scripture as well as to the
Catechism, and for parents and older children explore the art of
prayer in the spirit of the three Carmelite Doctors of the Church.
Let us all young and old alike enter into Dilecta s world to ponder
the ways of our King. May the message of this beautiful story
enkindle our love for Jesus, deepen our prayer lives, lead to the
conversion and transformation of hearts, and build up the Kingdom
of God.

If you love books and the Catholic Faith, you will love this
essential resource
This journal has been constructed in imitation of the copybook made
for Therese Martin by her older sister Pauline (Sr. Agnes of Jesus)
in 1884 to help Therese prepare for her First Holy Communion. Each
day of her sixty-nine day preparation period Therese recorded the
number of times she recited the included prayers and aspirations.
By using her "sacrifice beads," she counted each time she overcame
her own desires in order to please Jesus. Although this book is not
an exact replica of the copybook used by Therese, it does contain
many of the same prayers and aspirations she used, the same idea of
flowers inspiring virtue, and the same method of recording prayers
recited and sacrifices made. It is up to you to decorate and
complete this journal, replicating Therese's heroic efforts by
raising your mind and heart to Jesus and by humbling yourself with
small sacrifices. Learn as well to imitate St. Therese's love and
knowledge of Scripture as you meditate on-or even memorize-the
biblical passages that are provided for reflection.
Use this journal on its own or in conjunction with the "Communion
with the Saints" family preparation program for First Communion.
Create a lasting First Communion keepsake by daily recording your
thoughts, prayers, and drawings. May you-like St. Therese-learn to
love Jesus more deeply and be inspired to become a little flower in
our Lord's bouquet of beloved saints.

copybook, this journal uses the same method of encouraging-and
recording-daily prayers and mortifications. However, instead of
using flowers to illustrate virtues, this resource uses the battle
model St. Paul describes in Ephesians 6:10-17. First communicants
are encouraged to arm themselves with virtues and spiritual weapons
in order to fight as soldiers of Christ. The scriptural words of
Jesus and St. Paul are reflected on frequently to encourage the
imitation of the actions and love of Jesus and to inspire a love
and knowledge of Holy Scripture.

This prayer book strives to instill in young Catholics not only a
love of our Lord in the Holy Eucharist but also a love of prayer
and a practical knowledge of the art of meditation.
As examples of the many ways to pray, this book contains prayers
to pray out loud (vocal prayer) or in the silence of your heart. It
shows how you can talk with God, and more importantly, how you can
love God. It shows how to use pictures and images-like holy cards
and the Stations of the Cross-to help you pray and meditate. This
book also shows you how to use Bible stories to meditate on the
lessons Jesus taught. You will see how you can talk with God
silently in the quiet of your room, in church, outdoors in His
wonderful creation-at all times, in all places.
As you progress through this book-from discovering what prayer
is to reading and reciting simple prayers to understanding
meditation and then to helps for deeper meditation-you will see
that prayer and meditation often go together. Meditation is
described by the big "Catechism of the Catholic Church "as nothing
more than "prayerful reflection" or holy thinking. You can use
books, devotions, pictures, holy cards, and images (such as the
stained glass windows in church) to help you think or meditate on
holy people, events, and ideas.
This book gives many suggestions about how to talk with God so
that each day you can love Him more and become closer friends.
Learn to hear His loving voice and follow His holy will.
Utilizing chapters from two excellent out-of-print Catholic books
for children ("I Belong to God" by Lillian Clark, and "Children's
Retreats in Preparation for First Confession, First Holy Communion,
and Confirmation "by Rev. P.A. Halpin), this book provides a basic
doctrinal explanation and review of the Sacrament of Reconciliation
as well as a Gospel examination of conscience-a seven-day
read-aloud formation retreat. To help the lessons come alive and to
enable young Catholics to more readily apply the catechetical
doctrines of this sacrament to their own daily lives, the lessons
have been supplemented with pertinent short stories and poems. Each
lesson contains reflection questions to promote the important habit
of spiritual conversation within your family. Your family will
deepen their relationship with our loving and merciful God through
the prayer experiences that conclude each lesson and through their
daily participation in the "Gospel Examination of Conscience,"
formulated according to the dictates of the "Catechism of the
Catholic Church." "A Reconciliation Reader-Retreat" is designed for
those who are preparing for the initial reception of this sacrament
and for those who want to participate more fully. In the relaxed
setting of a family read-aloud, this retreat will not only enrich
and deepen the sacramental experience for each member of your
family but it will also provide several tools to help you recommit
to leading a virtuous life and to grow together in holiness.
