Jesus’ words to his disciples, “Let the children come to me
...” (Mk 10:14), are put
in action by this book. God Made All of Me helps young children
become aware of themselves,
their relationship with God and their relationship with their families. They also
learn that they have a
special place in the church as part of God’s family. These simple,
inexpensive activities are easy
and fun to do for children and catechists. The children become aware of
the spiritual meaning behind
Advent and Christmas, Lent and Easter, and other special days like
Halloween and St. Patrick’s
Day. Watch them find out what an extended family means as they link their
family names together in
Corpus Christi. See their reaction as they fly the paper dove that
represents the freedom of
God’s forgiveness. Let yourself respond to the innocence of children
to renew the light of your
own faith.
