Here's
a Way of the Cross for Children that invites reflection, prayer, and
action in a beautiful journal format. Each step along the way, the
reader encounters the story of Jesus' suffering and death in simple,
kid-friendly language accompanied by vivid illustrations. Then,
children are invited to imaginatively "enter the story,"
using two journal spaces to record their experience and their
prayerful response. Finally, readers are invited to imitate Jesus by
recording their acts of love and sacrifice. Optionally, children can
color fancy Easter eggs to keep track of their good works. Besides
providing children with an introduction to Ignatian imaginative
prayer and the practice of journaling prayer, the journal
familiarizes young readers with the story of Jesus' Passion, from the
Last Supper all the way through to Easter. A brief introduction
places the story in the broader context of Jesus' mission of love and
healing. The
Way of the Cross Journal for Children
is
appropriate for children ages 5-8; beginning readers will need adult
assistance.
