In the Apostles Creed we say, I believe in the communion of saints. Saints are those who have attained Heaven and are praying for us, they are special heavenly friends who have shown us how to live and love like Jesus while they were on earth.

The lives of saints play a vital role in the faith formation of Catholic children, offering them tangible examples of how to live a life rooted in love, virtue, and holiness. Saints are real people who overcame challenges, grew in their faith, and demonstrated heroic virtue, showing children that holiness is achievable in every walk of life. Their stories inspire young minds to strive for goodness, courage, and selflessness.
By learning about saints, children gain a deeper understanding of Catholic values, such as compassion, forgiveness, and trust in God. The saints' diverse backgrounds and missions--ranging from helping the poor to defending the faith--teach children that everyone has a unique role in God's plan. This instills a sense of purpose and encourages them to seek their own vocation.
Moreover, the saints' lives often resonate with children in personal ways. For instance, young saints like St. Thérèse of Lisieux or St. Dominic Savio show that even children can achieve great holiness. Their examples help children recognize that their everyday choices--acts of kindness, prayers, and sacrifices--can bring them closer to God.
In a world filled with conflicting values, the saints provide a countercultural example of living for Christ. Their lives illuminate the path to sainthood, inspiring children to become beacons of faith, hope, and love in their own communities.

• Our Lady, Queen of Saints

One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. provides children with simple explanations of prayer and traditional Catholic prayers. Prayer is very important for children because it helps them build a strong relationship with God. When children pray, they are talking to God, just like they would talk to a friend or family member. Prayer is a way for them to share their feelings, ask for help, and give thanks for all the blessings they receive. It reminds them that God is always with them, listening to their worries, hopes, and joys.

Praying also helps children develop a sense of peace and trust in God. When they pray about things that make them scared or sad, they can feel comforted, knowing that God is always there to protect and guide them. Prayer can make them feel closer to God, helping them know they are never alone.
Through prayer, children also learn to be thankful. By thanking God for their family, friends, health, and the good things in their life, they develop gratitude, which is a beautiful quality. Prayer teaches them to appreciate God's presence in every part of their lives.
Additionally, prayer helps children grow in kindness. When they pray for others, they learn to care about the needs and feelings of those around them. This opens their hearts to being more loving and compassionate toward others.

One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by beloved author Rev. Lawrence G. Lovasik, S.V.D. introduces Catholic children to and prepares them for the Sacrament of Penance. The Sacrament of Confession, or Reconciliation, holds special importance for children, helping them grow in their relationship with God and their understanding of forgiveness. Confession is an opportunity to experience God's mercy firsthand, teaching children that no matter what mistakes they make, God is always ready to forgive them when they're truly sorry. This sacrament fosters a sense of accountability by allowing them to reflect on their actions, recognize their faults, and take responsibility, which is foundational to developing moral awareness.
Through regular Confession, children learn the value of humility and honesty as they openly discuss their missteps. This sacrament also provides a unique chance to experience spiritual healing and peace, removing any feelings of guilt that may weigh on their hearts. This freedom from guilt encourages them to strive toward positive behavior and instills a desire to grow in virtue.
Moreover, Confession strengthens their relationship with God and the Church, showing them they are part of a community that values compassion, redemption, and grace. It helps them internalize the importance of forgiving others, just as they are forgiven, which nurtures empathy and understanding. For children, engaging in Confession lays a spiritual foundation, encouraging them to develop a conscience rooted in faith, love, and mercy--a foundation that can guide them throughout their lives.
Specific topics covered in this title include:

• The Sacrament of Confession
• What You Must Do to Prepare for Confession
• Examination of Conscience
• Finding Out Your Sins

Introducing children to Bible stories is a beautiful way to nurture their faith and moral foundation. These stories, rich with lessons about God's love, compassion, and guidance, offer children a sense of purpose, hope, and a deeper understanding of their relationship with God.
Bible stories are often written in simple yet profound ways, making them relatable and easy for children to understand. Stories like Noah's Ark, David and Goliath, and Jesus feeding the five thousand capture their imagination while teaching important virtues such as courage, trust, kindness, and forgiveness. These narratives help children see how God works in the lives of His people and inspires them to follow His ways.
By learning Bible stories, children also develop a strong moral compass. They begin to grasp concepts of right and wrong, empathy, and the importance of treating others with love and respect. These lessons help shape their character and guide their behavior in daily life.
Bible stories foster a sense of wonder and connection to God. They help children see Him not as distant but as a loving Father who is always present. Sharing these stories during family time, Sunday school, or bedtime builds a foundation of faith that will grow with them, instilling a lifelong trust in God's plan and promises.

One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. provides children with an understanding of the Mass. The Catholic Mass is a special time when we come together as a family of faith to worship God. It's like a big celebration with prayers, songs, and moments to listen to God's Word. Every part of the Mass helps us get closer to God and reminds us how much He loves us.
The Mass begins with the Introductory Rites, where we greet each other and ask for God's forgiveness for any mistakes we've made. Then comes the Liturgy of the Word, where we listen to readings from the Bible. This part includes the Gospel, where we hear about Jesus' life, love, and teachings. The priest shares a homily to help us understand how we can follow Jesus in our daily lives.
The next part is the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Here, the priest takes bread and wine and prays over them. We believe that, through the Holy Spirit, these become the Body and Blood of Jesus. This is a very holy moment because Jesus is present with us in a special way. When we receive Communion, we're welcoming Jesus into our hearts.

The Mass ends with the Concluding Rites, where we are blessed and sent out to share God's love with others. Mass is a gift where we can thank God, pray for our needs, and grow in faith. It's a time for us to feel God's love and be ready to love others as Jesus taught us.

Special topics include:

• The Order of the Mass
• The Liturgy of the Word

One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Father Lovasik, S.V.D., provides children with simple overview of The Holy Rosary is a special prayer that helps us think about the important moments in the lives of Jesus and His mother, Mary. It's like walking through a story of Jesus's life with Mary by our side, showing us how much God loves us. When we pray the Rosary, we use a string of beads to keep track of our prayers, so we can focus on each part of the story without losing our place.

The Rosary has five main parts called Mysteries, and each Mystery represents an important event. There are four groups of Mysteries: the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous Mysteries. Each one reminds us of something special, like when Jesus was born (the Joyful Mysteries) or when He rose from the dead (the Glorious Mysteries).
We start the Rosary with the Sign of the Cross and the Apostles' Creed, then say the Our Father (a prayer Jesus taught us), ten Hail Mary's (a prayer asking Mary to pray for us), and a Glory Be to praise God. This group of prayers is called a decade, and each Mystery has five decades.
Praying the Rosary helps us feel close to Jesus and Mary. When we think about the Mysteries, we learn how Jesus lived, loved, suffered, and rose again, all to save us. Mary, who always said yes to God, teaches us how to be faithful, loving, and kind.
The Rosary is powerful and calming, helping us to trust God and ask Mary to pray for us. Even though it may take time to learn, the Rosary is a beautiful way to grow closer to Jesus and Mary, making it a wonderful prayer to say anytime, especially with family.

Specific topics covered in this title include:

• The story of the Holy Rosary and St. Dominic
• Our Lady of Lourdes
• The prayers of the Rosary
• The Joyful Mysteries
• The Sorrowful Mysteries
• The Glorious Mysteries

Uno de los 101 títulos de la Serie de Libros Ilustrados de San José, este libro del popular autor Padre Lovasik, S.V.D., proporciona a los niños una visión sencilla del Santo Rosario, una oración especial que nos ayuda a reflexionar sobre los momentos importantes en la vida de Jesús y Su madre, María. Es como caminar a través de la historia de la vida de Jesús con María a nuestro lado, mostrándonos cuánto nos ama Dios. Cuando rezamos el Rosario, usamos un hilo de cuentas para llevar un registro de nuestras oraciones, así podemos concentrarnos en cada parte de la historia sin perder el hilo.
El Rosario tiene cinco partes principales llamadas Misterios, y cada Misterio representa un evento importante. Hay cuatro grupos de Misterios: los Misterios Gozosos, Dolorosos, Gloriosos y Luminosos. Cada uno nos recuerda algo especial, como cuando nació Jesús (los Misterios Gozosos) o cuando resucitó de entre los muertos (los Misterios Gloriosos).
Comenzamos el Rosario con la Señal de la Cruz y el Credo de los Apóstoles, luego decimos el Padre Nuestro (una oración que Jesús nos enseñó), diez Ave Marías (una oración pidiendo a María que ore por nosotros), y un Gloria al Padre para alabar a Dios. Este conjunto de oraciones se llama un decenario, y cada Misterio tiene cinco decenarios.

Rezar el Rosario nos ayuda a sentirnos cerca de Jesús y María. Cuando pensamos en los Misterios, aprendemos cómo Jesús vivió, amó, sufrió y resucitó, todo para salvarnos. María, quien siempre dijo sí a Dios, nos enseña a ser fieles, amorosos y amables.
El Rosario es poderoso y calmante, ayudándonos a confiar en Dios y pedirle a María que ore por nosotros. Aunque puede llevar tiempo aprenderlo, el Rosario es una manera hermosa de acercarnos a Jesús y María, convirtiéndolo en una oración maravillosa para rezar en cualquier momento, especialmente en familia.

Temas específicos cubiertos en este título incluyen:
- La historia del Santo Rosario y San Domingo
- Nuestra Señora de Lourdes
- Las oraciones del Rosario

One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Father Lovasik S.V.D., provides children with simple explanations of Stations of the Cross. The Stations of the Cross is a special journey many Christians take to remember the last hours of Jesus' life on Earth. It's a bit like a story that helps us understand how much Jesus loves us. This journey is usually marked by 14 different stops, called stations, each representing an important event that happened before Jesus died on the cross. Each station reminds us of Jesus' love and sacrifice, teaching us to be kind and loving to others.
Understanding the Stations of the Cross is important for children for several reasons: Learning about the Stations helps children deepen their understanding of Jesus' love and sacrifice. It reinforces their faith and teaches them about the core beliefs of Christianity. Each station offers valuable moral lessons, such as compassion, perseverance, and the importance of helping others. Kids can learn to apply these lessons in their daily lives. The Stations of the Cross addresses suffering and hardship, helping children understand that experiencing difficulties is part of life. It teaches them to find hope and strength in challenging times. Knowing the Stations allows children to connect with their church community and family traditions. It provides a sense of belonging and shared beliefs, especially during Lent and Holy Week.
By meditating on Jesus' suffering, children can develop a sense of empathy for others who suffer. It encourages them to be more compassionate and caring towards those in need. Each station can prompt personal reflection and prayer, helping children to develop their own spiritual practices and a relationship with God. The Stations are an essential part of the Easter story, helping children see the connection between Jesus' suffering, death, and ultimately His resurrection.
In summary, the Stations of the Cross enrich children's spiritual lives, teach important values, and help them navigate their feelings and relationships with others.

One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. provides children with simple explanations of the importance of receiving Holy Communion.
Receiving the Eucharist is a very important part of being Catholic because it is how we receive Jesus in a special way. At Mass, during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the bread and wine are changed into the Body and Blood of Jesus. This is called transubstantiation. When we take the Eucharist, we are not just eating bread; we are receiving Jesus Himself, who gives us strength, love, and grace to live good and holy lives.

The Eucharist is sometimes called Holy Communion because it brings us into a close relationship, or communion, with Jesus. It helps us grow closer to Him and reminds us that He is always with us. By receiving the Eucharist, we are also united with other Catholics around the world who share in this special meal.
Jesus gave us the Eucharist at the Last Supper, saying, Do this in memory of me. He wanted us to remember His love and sacrifice for us. When we receive the Eucharist, we are remembering what Jesus did on the cross to save us from sin and how much He loves us.
For children, receiving the Eucharist for the first time is a very special moment because it is a big step in their faith journey. It helps them grow in their relationship with Jesus and strengthens them to live as He taught us, by loving God and others. The Eucharist is a gift that keeps us close to Jesus throughout our lives.

One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Father Lovasik S.V.D., provides children with an abundance of prayers which will assist them in praying on their own. Teaching children to pray is a beautiful way to help them build a strong relationship with God. Prayer allows children to talk to God, share their feelings, and learn to trust that He is always there for them, no matter what. Through prayer, children discover that they can bring their joys, worries, and hopes to God and that He listens with love.

Praying regularly helps children feel safe and connected to something greater than themselves. It gives them a moment of peace and calm, which can be comforting, especially during times when they feel worried or unsure. Prayer can be a powerful tool for kids to understand gratitude as well. By thanking God for their family, friends, and blessings, children learn to appreciate the good things in life.
Prayer also teaches children to care about others. When they pray for their family, friends, and even people they don't know, they develop a sense of compassion and kindness. This helps them become more understanding and caring toward others.
Making prayer a habit can guide children in making good choices. It reminds them that God is with them and encourages them to think about what is right and good. Overall, prayer gives children a strong foundation in faith, love, and hope. Teaching kids to pray helps them grow up with a sense of peace, strength, and confidence in God's presence in their lives.

Mary, the Mother of Hope, holds a special place in Catholic faith as a symbol of trust in God's promises. Her unwavering faith, from the Annunciation to the Crucifixion, exemplifies a deep reliance on divine providence. Catholics look to Mary as a model of hope, particularly in times of suffering and uncertainty.
At the Annunciation, Mary's yes to God (Luke 1:38) set the course for salvation history. Despite the unknowns, she trusted in God's plan. At the foot of the Cross, she endured immense sorrow but remained steadfast, believing in God's victory over death. Her hope was fulfilled in the Resurrection, reinforcing the Christian belief that God's promises never fail.
Catholics turn to Mary for intercession, especially under titles like Our Lady of Hope. Shrines, such as Pontmain in France, commemorate her role in inspiring hope during times of war and distress. The Rosary, particularly the Joyful and Glorious Mysteries, reflects on Mary's journey of hope.
Pope Benedict XVI called Mary the Star of Hope, guiding believers toward Christ. Her life teaches that true hope is rooted in faith, not worldly security. In Mary, Catholics find a mother who nurtures hope, encouraging them to trust God's love even in life's darkest moments.
