Teaching Catholic Kids
October 2014
 
Prayer 

Lord make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon,
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light, and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Love Is Our Mission: The Family Fully Alive

Love Is Our Mission

An essential resource and the Official Book for the 2015 World Meeting of Families, this preparatory catechesis helps Catholics renew their appreciation of Church teaching on family. Also in Spanish.

 
 
Angels Among Us
"Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life."(CCC #336). How is that for good news? And what a comfort to children and parents alike. This month's TCK is full of activities to help kids get better acquainted with their angels. If they don't already know the Angel of God prayer, use a large poster display, prayer cards, or bookmarks to teach kids the words. On October 2, the Memorial of the Guardian Angels, be sure to say "thank you" to your guardian angel!
