Downloadable Catholic ebook: A true Alphabet of Roman Catholic saints who were children, a very sweet children's book.
Our children love Children Of The Kingdom, by Mary Adelaide Garnett (Fernekees) 1915. It is a true alphabet of saints who were children!
After stories about Mary, Queen of all Saints and St. Joseph; the book covers boy saints and girl saints for nearly each alphabetical letter, A-Z. All told, there are forty-eight Catholic saints stories. This endearing little book will charm children and adults and encourage practicing the virtues in all who read it or hear it read.
Allow me to quote the preface:
"In these days of early First Communions, it is well to place before the child mental pictures of those whom the Church honors as childhood's saints."
"As types of holiness, the little saints are not at all beyond the imitation of the average child of to-day."
"...to be victors in the conflict, the child soldier of Christ to-day needs the high courage and stainless nobility of God's martyrs."
"They learn to scorn what is low and base, sincerity reigns in their hearts, and they in turn, in another age, and in another way, become 'Children Of The Kingdom'".
I have read this dear book to my children and hope that you can enjoy the same. Our children really enjoyed the stories of other children who were good in a heroic manner. The stories are short for reading to tiny children. Simply bring it up on your eReader and snuggle in for a cozy moment in time. Little ones who are just beginning to read "chapter books" love it too. They are delighted when they "get to" use an eReader, too.
We loved snuggling on the couch reading about these sweet saints. The stories are very short, only about 2 or 3 pages; so we could simply read one, or gobble up several stories.
Children Of The Kingdom is a great patron saint list including both male and female saints who were children. Treasure the Baptismal and Catholic Confirmation names you can get from this book and, later, watch your child's joy at being named for these patron saints! Roman Catholic Baptism requires a Christian name; choose from these jewels!
