Praying at Mass - Juliette Levivier and Anna Gravier  - CTS Children’s Books

As of the reading of this book over the last few years I have read over 400 volumes from the Catholic Truth Society. I stumbled upon them while doing research on an author, and have been hooked ever since. This one is part of the CTS Children’s Book Series. It is the one of 7 by Levivier available from the CTS. Last year I started reading the CTS Children's and this year I will continue to track down more, to read and then donate to our kids Catholic Elementary school.

The description of this book is:
 
“Praying at Mass

A little book to help children understand "what happens at Mass" and join in with all their hearts.

(From 5 years old)”

The sections in this book are:

God calls his children together
     The bells ring
     The church, My Family
     Let’s sing for the Lord
     Lord, have mercy!
     Glory to God!

God speaks to his children
     What do you want to say to me, Lord?
     Alleluia, Jesus is alive!
     Living by the Gospel every day
     I believe
     Let us pray together for the whole world 

Jesus gives us his life
     Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation
     This is my Body
     The mystery of our faith is something really great! 
     Jesus, I give myself to you 
     Our Father
     Happy are those called to the Lord’s Supper!
     Thank you Lord!

Jesus sends us out to our brothers and sisters
     Go in the peace of Christ!
     Life goes on

This is the fourth of the seven volumes form the CTS by Levivier and Gravier that I have read. They are wonderful books for home, school, or church libraries. They Illustrations are bright and fun. Some full pages illustrations other small drawings around the edge of the pages. The text is clear and wonderfully written. Kids will understand it easily. And parents and even grandparents will love the simple faith and wonderful prayers on every facing page. It is an excellent volume explaining what happens at mass and our role in being present and engaged.

An excellent volume. It was great to read it and then pass it along to our kid’s former Catholic Grade School. The Librarian has loved many of the CTS books we have donated over the years. This is another excellent volume from the Catholic Truth Society. I am very thankful I picked it. A great resource I can easily recommend for church, home, school.
