From The Work of God's Children

Make a free, personalized, editable prayer book that explains the parts of the Mass in beautiful pictures derived from stained glass windows and artwork in churches throughout the world. Your child's / children's pictures can replace the pictures of the children in the books, so that it becomes their personal prayerbook with them showing the proper way to sit, stand, kneel, put their hands together while praying, bowing during the Nicene Creed, etc. Pictures of your church's appropriate artwork can replace the artwork from other churches. Pictures of your priest(s) can replace the current pictures. Pictures of members of your family and friends, living and deceased, can be added at either Prayers of the Faithful or during the Eucharistic Prayer. If there is something your family is praying about such as finding a new home or job, the healing of someone you know, peace in the world, etc., pictures may be added to give a visual reminder and keep the prayer time during Mass more focused. Pictures for the First and Second Readings, Responsorial Psalm, and Gospel may also be added to aid in visualizing what the Reading / Psalm / Gospel is about. After the personalized prayer book is made, matching pictures can be glued on to postable note papers with a sticky back and can be made into another little book and then used as a matching picture game. Each picture on the sticky backed note paper can be matched and attached to the same picture in the prayerbook.

You can choose other pictures by going to. Then select the category you would like to view. With your child, find pictures that explain the concept or show the object being learned.

In A.D. 2010 February, the English Mass text will be changing. The full text can be downloaded from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) website. The meaning will remain the same, so the pictures may still be used in the same place. Changing to the new wording can be easily done, by printing the text and attaching it to a piece of paper with rubber cement, glue, or sticky back postable notes. (Pictures of this will be posted soon.)

We have made several personalized Children's Mass Books for individual parishes. The books designed for the parishes listed below integrate pictures from that parish.
