Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Just got a promotional email today from the author of this new book on the papacy, for children - We Have a Pope!

Quote:
This full-color, photo-illustrated, nonfiction story traces the papacy from its biblical beginnings to the present. From the handing of the keys, to the election of a new pope, from the rock on which the Church is built, to the Popemobile, the Ring of the Fisherman, and the Swiss Guard, it presents the history and splendor of the papacy in simple, easy-to-understand language. Includes a glossary of terms and list of popes from St. Peter to Pope Benedict. Catholic Writers Guild Seal of Approval. Imprimatur. Ages 4-8.


I think this would be really informative. It's a great topic to cover as I don't think there is anything for children this age covering an overview of the papacy. Has Archbishop Dolan's recommendation.

Check out the website for the new publishing company, too. It has a very worthy mission.
