One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. provides children with simple explanations of the joy of being a Catholic Child. Being a Catholic child is a joyful experience because it means being part of God’s big family and feeling His love every day. Catholic children get to learn about Jesus and how much He loves them. Knowing that Jesus is always with us, guiding and protecting us, brings a sense of peace and comfort.
One of the joys of being Catholic is celebrating special moments like Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation. These sacraments are filled with God’s grace and make children feel closer to Him. Receiving Holy Communion for the first time is a special joy because it is when we receive Jesus in the Eucharist, filling us with His love and strength.
Prayer is also a beautiful part of being Catholic. Catholic children can talk to God anytime through traditional prayers or their own personal prayers. Knowing that God is always listening brings comfort and happiness.
Catholic children also get to experience the joy of helping others, just like Jesus taught. Whether it’s sharing with friends, helping family, or showing kindness to strangers, living out Jesus’ teachings brings happiness and fulfillment. Finally, the Catholic Church celebrates many joyful holidays, like Christmas and Easter, which remind us of Jesus’ love and the hope we have in Him. Being a Catholic child means growing in faith, love, and happiness every day.
