A Holy Marian Retreat-for Parents and Children, too! Saint Faustina warned parents that praying for their children is not enough. That's why so many conscientious parents take the further step of consecrating their children to Jesus through Mary, thereby defending them from evil and paving their way to Heaven. This book walks you through the simple process of doing just that. Its informed pages give you detailed instructions to help you lead your family (ages seven and up) through each of the 33 mini-retreat days recommended by Saint Louis de Montfort. Adapted for the sometimes less-than-ideal prayer circumstances of families - particularly those with young children-these 33 brief, stress-free daily spiritual exercises and family activities bring adults and children greater knowledge of Jesus through Mary, and a more fervent love of both. For each day of the retreat, this hook gives you and your loved ones: Age-appropriate Scripture readings, A wise quotation from a beloved saint, A teaching for parents on what to do each day and how to do it, A prayer for the whole family, Teachings for children, with helpful discussion points, A common goal for family members to carry out each day, Evening prayers to bring each day to a peaceful and proper end Book jacket.
