First Communion is generally understood as a rite of passage in which seven- and eight-year-old Catholic children transform from baptized participants in the Church to members of the body of Christ, the universal Catholic Church. This official Church account, however, ignores what the rite actually may mean to its participants. In When I Was a Child, Susan Ridgely Bales demonstrates that the accepted understanding of a religious ritual can shift dramatically when one considers the often neglected perspective of child participants. Bales followed Faith Formation classes and interviewed communicants, parents, and priests in an African American parish and in a parish containing both white and Latino congregations. By letting the children speak for themselves through their words, drawings, and actions, When I Was a Child stresses the importance of rehearsal, the centrality of sensory experiences, and the impact of expectations in the communicants' interpretations of the Eucharist. In the first sustained ethnographic study of how children interpret and help shape their own faith, Bales finds that children's perspectives give new contours to the traditional understanding of a common religious ritual. Ultimately, she argues that scholars of religion should consider age as distinct a factor as race, class, and gender in their analyses.

Children meet the gentle Jesus while they learn about the Mass and their responses to the prayers. Meet the Gentle Jesus: The Mass for Children introduces the Mass in a way that will start children on a lifelong journey of knowing and loving Jesus. Barbara Yoffie--a primary grades classroom teacher, religious education coordinator, and popular children's books author--explains every prayer and ritual gesture of the Mass in age-appropriate language. Because children learn by asking questions and doing, Yoffie also provides introspective questions at every step of the Mass so children get involved. These questions help children carry out what they learned at Mass to their community, becoming missionary disciples. The charming, colorful illustrations by renowned artist Jeff Albrecht stimulate children and enable them to follow along during Mass. This engaging booklet is an essential tool for any primary grade child preparing for First Communion or learning about the Mass. It is a perfect supplement to Liguori's forthcoming Meet the Gentle Jesus First Eucharist sacrament preparation program. It also makes a great First Communion gift. Meet the Gentle Jesus: The Mass for Children has been reviewed and approved by the Office of Divine Worship at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and by the International Commission for English in the Liturgy (ICEL). The book has been granted imprimatur by the Archdiocese of St. Louis. Full-color booklet. Discounts for parishes start at just ten books.
