A fantastic book to help you teach young ones all about Mass! 28 full lessons broken into 5 categories (Before We Begin Mass, Introductory Rites, Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of the Eucharist, and Concluding Rite) explaining to the students the parts of Mass and what happens. This book helps children understand what we say and do during Mass and why. Each lesson is thoroughly thought out with background, what to say to the students, a craft with easy step by step directions with illustrations and patterns, and review questions. The lessons are written so that the students will understand and comprehend what the roles of the priest, the other liturgical ministers, and the community are during Mass. The students will also learn the responses as well as all of the other rituals and actions that take place during the liturgy. The book also includes a 32 page missal, "My Mass Book" for the students to color, fold, and take with them to Mass. Also in "My Mass Book" are the written responses to help the children participate in Mass. (Children Discover the Mass is spiral bound to make copying easier.) ( )
