How to Prepare Your Child for First Holy Communion (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from How to Prepare Your Child for First Holy Communion Please don't leave it to the Sisters. They can never do it as well as you, and certainly, not without you. They can help you, but only if you do your part first. Your child is your flesh and blood, not theirs. During his first fifteen years he spends ten times as many hours at home as in church and school combined. You, his par ents, are the greatest single forming influence in his life. You are his first, his best, his most influential teachers. You are his hero and heroine in spite of all you may hear of what Sister said. Your relationship with your child is the most important relationship in his life. The influence of your mind upon his mind, of your personality upon his personality, of your character upon his character, is greater than that of all the Sisters who will ever share in molding his spirit. You are the divinely-appointed living means of communi cation between God and your child. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Preparing Your Child for Holy Communion


Book Description

First Holy Communion day is the most important and memorable day in the life of a Catholic child. Eucharist is the ineffable gift, and Holy Communion is the fusion between us and Jesus. Children start longing to receive Holy Communion at an early age but have to wait till they reach the age of discernment. In preparation, they attend a yearlong classes and training, either through the Catholic School or the Sunday School Faith Formation classes. At the end of this lengthy preparation, we still ask the same question: Are we really ready? Family is the domestic church, and parents are the primary catechism teachers. Knowledge is power and education is empowerment. Being involved actively in faith formation, in Holy Communion preparation, being a teacher and director of religious education for the past several years, answering the parents and reassuring them again and again, I thought of putting it together, hence this book, Preparing Your Child for Holy Communion: A Guide for Parents.




Little Talks to Children Preparing for Holy Communion (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Little Talks to Children Preparing for Holy Communion We do not see God, because as the Cate chism tells you, He is a spirit, the most pure spirit, and, therefore, we cannot see Him with the eyes of our body. If you go into a room which is entirely dark, you do not see any thing in it. It may be full of things, such as tables, chairs and other furniture, pictures on the walls, and although. You have eyes, you cannot see them or anything else in it. Why? Because there is no light in that dark room. Turn on the light, and you can see everything in it. We cannot now see God, because we need some other light besides our reason and the light we have on earth to see God. We shall be able to see God in heaven, after our death, if we are good and pure dur ing life, for the pure of heart shall see God.
