Hear My Voice
I recently received a copy of Hear My Voice: A Children's Translation of Gospel Readings of the Catholic Mass for 2009. I wanted to use it before I reviewed it, and of course, we had a series of weeks where we just couldn't make it to mass.
Finally, I got a chance to use it! The book is set up so there is a nice big illustration (a cute cartoon-like picture) with one sentence from the story. On the other side is the actual gospel reading, along with the same reading written for children. I started with the actual gospel, then read the children's version. My daughter was so excited that she could actually follow along and understand what was being read during mass. She was even able to focus on the homily and see the connection to the reading.
This is a really beautifully done book, and I highly recommend it to everyone!
