My Year with the Saints for Kids

by Peter Celano

Overview

"May the Lord grant us all the hope of being saints."

Pope Francis recently shared this prayer with the world - and that includes kids. You, too, can become a saint. You just have to open your heart and let God help you.

This book introduces you to a saint every day--people like you who made the choice to love Jesus and give their lives to him. These stories, prayers, and suggestions for becoming holy are designed with your needs and your life in mind. Once you get underway toward sainthood, you should go ahead and reveal these examples and teachings to the adults around you, too. We all need this!

Editorial Reviews

‘We can become saints because the Lord helps us. . . .[Becoming a saint] is the greatest gift that each one of us can give to the world.’ These words from Pope Francis are intended for all of us, both young and old. My Year with the Saints for Kids, compiled by Peter Celano, is designed to help children aim for holiness. Each day’s entry features a short saint or scriptural quote followed by a brief prayer or reflection question. This book would be best for children ages 7 and up. The quotes, reflections, and prayers are all relevant to adults and teens as well as children. My Year with the Saints for Kids would be a great addition to a morning basket for children or for use with family prayer time.” —Today's Catholic Homeschooling.com
