Magnificat.
- Reading
- Look through the pictures together before or after Mass; pause at a prayer or action your child recognises, and let their questions set the pace.
- Themes
- Following the Mass: Pictures and prayers follow a boy and girl at Mass with their parents, alongside the words and actions of the priest. The book offers a step-by-step devotional introduction to what happens during Mass.
- Beliefs at the heart of Mass: The book identifies Jesus’s death on the cross, resurrection and opening the way to Heaven as the essence of the Holy Mass. These beliefs are presented as a central Catholic explanation of the Mass, not merely mentioned as a topic.
- Worth knowing
- The book presents Catholic beliefs about Jesus’s death, resurrection and Heaven as central to Mass; consider whether this devotional framing fits your family’s approach to religion.
