Mark Allen found no suitable published book to prepare his son for First Holy Communion. First Holy Communion in the Roman Catholic Church is something of the greatest significance equivalent to confirmation in the Church of England or Bar Mitzvah for Jewish children. A lot of the material published is trite and worst of all tends to patronise the children for whom it is intended. To help parents and teachers answer questions about the ceremony Mark Allen offers readings and background from scripture and catechism. Children can be hard-headed tend to like stories and facts. The narrative of the Bible provides facts, events which happened, and along with them the objective truths of revelation. The Mass is our sacramental encounter with the person of Jesus. Preparation therefore should be based on him and on the Gospel story of His life. The preparation should reflect the unity of the mass, its liturgy of the Word and the Eucharistic Rite, the mystery of Christ in our community as Church. Routine is the key aid to progress. The course provided in this book is based on a series of half hour sessions for parent and teacher with the child. It is thus both practical and down to earth.

Every year thousands of Catholic children worldwide make their First Holy Communion. They are prepared for this important event through religious education programs in their schools, parishes, or families. The intellectual formation children receive is extremely important. Nevertheless, it can easily overlook the spiritual preparation of the child's heart that needs to be fully open in order to truly meet Jesus. First Communion is the beginning of a lifelong personal relationship between the child and Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. This Sacrament is the primary source of the graces we all need for growth in holiness. I Welcome Jesus is a book written especially for children of First Communion age that appeals to their growing sense of what is good, true and beautiful. It is an updated, greatly expanded version of a 1952 classic novena booklet and its companion prayer book for First Communicants. For nine days prior to First Communion, the child prepares by striving to practice each day a different virtue associated with a particular flower. The book presents to the child a metaphor by comparing their heart to a beautiful garden that will be full of flowers for Jesus on First Communion day. By linking a particular flower with a virtue to be practiced, children are challenged to grow in spiritual readiness to receive their Eucharistic King. On the day of their First Communion they may even wear a little corsage or boutonniere made of these flowers as a symbol of their efforts.The author's knowledge of the way in which each flower relates to its associated virtue enhances the original version of the book. In addition, her sense of beauty and artistic training lend an added visual touch of charm to the book in the form of her color photographs and watercolors of the nine flowers used in the novena.I Welcome Jesus includes poetry and prayers that speak directly to children's tender and innocent hearts - a book they will treasure as a memento of this day, and use repeatedly, continuing to plant the seeds of virtue that can grow into a lifetime of holiness.

The person of Jesusand our need to encounter him personallyis the common thread through all that Pope Benedict XVI has written and taught. As he once urged young people, Open, open wide the doors to Christand you will find true life. In this book, popular Catholic writer Amy Welborn highlights the many ways in which the pope is inviting his listeners, both inside and outside the church, to discover the saving, healing, life-giving love of Jesus. As we listen with open minds and hearts to Pope Benedicts persistent and heartfelt invitation, we will be inspired to put friendship with Jesus at the center of our lives. And as the pope shows us, we can encounter Jesus in ourselves, in Scripture, in the liturgy, in prayer, and in everyday life.
