Journey of Faith for Childrenintroduces children to the Catholic faith in a way that's easy for them to understand, using an engaging pastoral approach. Based on the ever-popular and long-running adult Christian initiation program from Liguori Publications, Journey of Faith for Children provides a solid catechetical foundation. The warm and engaging style of the Redemptorists speaks to children about faith topics in a way that starts them on a lifelong journey of knowing and loving Jesus.Journey of Faith for Children, Enlightenment guides children through a period of self-reflection and preparation for the sacraments in a way that's relevant to where they are in their own lives. Children learn about God's mercy and forgiveness, through an introduction to the scrutinies, and the Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Children also participate in a group Lenten retreat before becoming fully initiated into the Church. Journey of Faith for Children, Mystagogy leads children, now members of the Church, into full participation with the Church and their parish community. At confirmation, children are given the gift of the Holy Spirit and the mission to evangelize. They learn how to become witnesses for Christ, how to continue the faith formation process, and how to share their enthusiasm for the faith.This comprehensive Leader Guide gives you everything you need to walk into your RCIA class and start leading--whether you're a veteran RCIA instructor or a first year volunteer.
