The Religious Potential of the Child

Experiencing Scripture and Liturgy with young children

AUTHOR Sofia Cavalletti

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Publication

This Second English Edition describes an experience with children from ages 3 to 6, an experience of adults and children dwelling together in the mystery of God. It is not a how-to book, complete with lesson plans. Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: "Help me come closer to God by myself." Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information.
