In the Church's calendar, every day is special because it is a feast for Jesus, Mary, and the saints! In Day-by-Day Coloring Book of Saints, children will befriend a new saint every day as they color in a full-page image of the saint of the day while listening to their parents read aloud the saint's story.
Drawing from the liturgical calendar, this charming coloring book showcases the lives of these holy men and women from the early Church to the modern day. Children will encounter saints from around the world, including old friends such as St. Patrick and St. Catherine of Siena, and new ones too, such as St. Paul Miki and St. Gianna Molla.
By coloring and reading Day-by-Day Coloring Book of Saints, children will learn that each saint has a special day -- almost like a birthday -- when we remember and celebrate their lives so that we can imitate them in this world and follow them into eternal life in Heaven.
Author Biography
Bishop Schneider and coauthor Aurelio Porfiri encourage the revival of public prayers, such as the Liturgy of the Hours and Eucharistic adoration. He explains how genuflecting, kneeling, and prostrating oneself are all outward signs of reverence that demonstrate this inward action. Our duty, he declares, is to render "perpetual thanksgiving" to God at Mass. Indeed, as he solemnly asserts, "The Mass is the greatest and most important work of the Church."
