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.

The Creed, Confession and the Ten Commandments for Little Catholics
by Sr. M. Juliana of Maryknoll
Careful explanations of the Creed and the Ten Commandments and five easy steps to the Sacrament of Reconciliation ensure that your child will readily grasp the precepts of our faith, learn to examine his or her conscience, and experience the grace of having a soul wiped clean in Confession.
This combined edition of three books originally issued in 1953 includes:
-The Ten Commandments introduces the Ten Commandments through the stories of Original Sin and Moses on Sinai. It simplifies each commandment and its bright illustrations provide concrete examples of how children can obey each commandment.
-I Believe: A First Book on the Apostle’s Creed explains the Creed phrase by phrase, building upon the beginning “I believe in God…” as your child progresses through the book. This is a wonderful tool for memorizing the prayer at the center of our faith.
-My Confession describes the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and then gives five straightforward steps for your child to make a good confession. This book walks through the whole process, before, during, and after confession. It is a must-have for any child at his or her first Reconciliation.
This book can be used always to teach your little one about the Catholic Faith and to prepare your child every time he or she goes to Confession. I Believe: The Creed, Confession, and the Ten Commandments is undeniably an investment your child will get a lot out of for years to come.
