Jesus and Me

Description

Like any new skill, young Catholics need guidance when learning how to pray. Jesus and Me: Talking with My Greatest Friend provides children with a clear yet flexible blueprint for meaningful conversations with Our Lord—conversations that can develop into a lifelong relationship with Jesus.

More than just a collection of prayers to recite, Jesus and Me provides children with eighty prayer options that offer sweet, simple, and reassuring guidance for learning how to pray. It helps them understand how and why they should pray to their divine friend, Jesus.

Written by Melissa Kirking, a Catholic mother and teacher, this full-color, spiral-bound book has been creatively designed so that children will want to use it. It highlights the four types of prayer—adoration, gratitude, contrition, and petition—by providing:

• A unique color for each type of prayer

• Options for praying in these four ways using a variety of styles and methods, such as Scripture, journaling, meditation, and drawing to appeal to all young minds

• 80 “Prayer Possibilities” offering ideas for talking and listening to Jesus

• Child-friendly explanations and “Words to Know” for each type of prayer

• Instructions for Eucharistic Adoration, the Rosary, and the Divine Mercy Chaplet

By giving children the tools they need to talk with Jesus, Jesus and Me transforms something that may at first seem overwhelming, boring, or bewildering into a divine friendship that will guide them throughout their lives.
