Young children can be both mystified and confused by what they witness while attending Mass with their families--even when they can see over the adults sitting in front of them!
Don't Drink the Holy Water! explains the Mass with creative, full-color illustrations and simple descriptions that resonate with kids. A special section at the back of the book helps adults answer kids' questions about the Mass.
Featuring a 50-minute DVD--broken into 20 small segments, perfect for engaging kids and off ering opportunities for questions and reflection--parents, grandparents, godparents, and teachers alike will appreciate this lively, versatile teaching tool.
Knowing God comes from having a relationship with God.
Guide the young children in your life to grow in their relationship with Jesus by understanding that He is their Best Friend.
He's the one who knows you better than anyone else.
He's the one who is always there, in good times and bad.
He's the one who will help you become the best person you can be.
He's the one who laid down His life for you.
There's no end to the love that Jesus has for you. And all He wants is for you is to love Him back, and to love your family, friends, and neighbors. You can show your love to Jesus in many little ways:
By thanking God for the world He made
By always telling the truth, even when it is hard
By receiving the sacraments of Confession and the Holy Eucharist
By doing lots of little things that mean a lot
Every little act of goodness and grace helps you grow to be a better person and a better friend.
