Instructional Stories in Religion
by Rev. Wilfrid J. Diamond
Preaching to children is not easy. It is indeed one of the finest of fine arts. The difficulties experienced in the preparation of the instruction for the children’s Mass will be less onerous for those who use Father Diamond’s sermons. How often busy priests go in search of just such a book as this one. We shall have no excuse now if we fail to give our children an interesting and inspiring instruction at their Sunday Mass.
It seems unnecessary to add that this volume will also be useful to religious and lay catechists in parochial schools and other centers of religious instruction.
God will use this little volume for His glory as little children learn to love our Lord from it.
May we suggest the use of this book be strengthened by the frequent repetition of the powerful prayer of St. Therese of the Child Jesus. “O Jesus, I beseech Thee to cast Thy glance upon a vast number of little souls: I entreat Thee to choose in this world a legion of little victims, worthy of Thy love.”
Paperback, size 8.5" x 5.5", 112 pages, Impr 1941

Sunday Morning Storyland
Sunday Morning Storyland
Sunday Sermons for Children
by Rev. Wilfrid J. Diamond
In his book Sunday Morning Storyland, Father Diamond speaks of Christ to children in the language of a child. He knows that the hearts of the young must be touched with fire, and through stories he enkindles fires of faith, hope, and love. These stories will help parents, priests and teachers to fulfill their responsibility for the spiritual guidance of Catholic children.
The author of Heavenwords presents another collection of sermons for children, one for each Sunday of the year including the major feast days which occur on Sundays. A text is taken from the Gospel of the day and is explained or illustrated by stories that attract and apply.
Simply told, emphasizing a single lesson in each, these stories are purposely short and limited in scope so that the children's whole attention is held throughout the sermon. Lessons of Honesty, Charity, Humility, Faith, etc., are presented under intriguing titles like "The Nervous Lady in a Trolley Car," "Vincent Vinegar and Sally Sourcream," "The Devil Stuck in a Trapdoor," and others. What could better delight and more effectively instruct the youngsters?
A topical index is included for the convenience of priests, nuns, and catechists.
Sunday Morning Storyland will assist busy priests in the difficult but pleasant task of preaching to children, and will supply nuns and lay teachers with lively material for explaining the Gospels in the classroom. First printing 1945.
