The sacraments are vital milestones in a child's spiritual journey, serving as visible signs of God's grace and fostering their relationship with Him. Through these sacred rites, children are introduced to the mysteries of faith, deepening their understanding of God's presence and love in their lives.
Baptism, the first sacrament, marks a child's initiation into the Christian community and sets the foundation for their spiritual growth. It cleanses them of original sin and establishes their identity as a child of God, a profound and lifelong truth.
The Eucharist, often received during First Holy Communion, teaches children about Jesus' sacrificial love and unites them with Him in a tangible way. It nurtures their souls, strengthens their faith, and fosters gratitude and reverence for God's blessings.
Reconciliation introduces children to the importance of forgiveness and God's infinite mercy. By confessing their sins, they learn about accountability, humility, and the joy of a restored relationship with God.
Confirmation empowers children to embrace their faith more fully, equipping them with the Holy Spirit's gifts to live as active disciples.
The sacraments are not mere rituals but transformative encounters with God. They provide children with spiritual strength, guidance, and a deep sense of belonging to the Church, laying the groundwork for a faith-filled life.
The St. Joseph "Carry-Me-Along" Board Books are ideal books for young children. They are sturdy books that will stand up to wear and tear with full-color illustrations and clear, simple text.

This title covers the following seven Sacraments: The Sacrament of Baptism The Sacrament of Penance The Sacrament of Holy Eucharist The Sacrament of Confirmation The Sacrament of Matrimony The Sacrament of Holy Orders The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick

The inspired poetry of Helen Schucman

Helen Schucman was the "scribe" of A COURSE IN MIRACLES, a three volume set of books about spiritual psychotherapy. These poems were not scribed in the same way as A COURSE IN MIRACLES; but they do dovetail with the spiritual principles of the Course. Some poems were written for specific people, among them: Kenneth Wapnick, President of "Foundation for A Course In Miracles"; Gerald Jampolsky, author of LOVE IS LETTING GO OF FEAR; William Thetford, co-scribe of A COURSE IN MIRACLES. Others are simply poems about the abstract nature of the Course, and the Course's reinterpretation of Christian themes. For information on which poems pertain to which people, see ABSENCE FROM FELICITY, Dr. Wapnick's biography of Helen Schucman. The student of the Course will be interested to know that THE GIFTS OF GOD ends with 14 pages of material that *was* received from the same process of inner dictation that brought the Course. That section is divided into five sections: "The Dream of Fear," "The Two Gifts," "The Ending of the Dream," "Our Gifts to God," and "The Father's Love."Since I am a student of the Course, I am biased: I think THE GIFTS OF GOD is beautiful and would recommend it to any student of the Course or lover of poetry.

Poetry inspired by Jesus

This volume contains the inspired poetry of Dr Helen Schucman, scribe of A Course in Miracles. It contains 114 poems, written over a ten-year period, that share the spiritual content (and in many ways the style) of the Course.These beautiful poems are not only inspired; they are extremely inspirational and will be particularly appreciated by students of the Course.Unlike the editorial review above states, Dr Schucman did not receive these poems directly from Jesus (as she received the Course); she stated that while she was the 'scribe' of the Course, she was the 'inspired author' of these poems.
