Your First Holy Communion is very special. It is when, for the very first time, you receive Jesus in the Eucharist. This is a day that you will always remember.
In this beautiful book, the author shares how much Jesus loves coming to you in the Eucharist. He wants to be your best friend and by receiving Jesus at Mass, you can show him how much you want him to be your best friend, too!
Every child will treasure Maïte Roche’s wonderful retelling of the history of Salvation, from Genesis to Revelation, in this richly illustrated children’s Bible.
To receive Jesus in Holy Communion is to enter into a lifelong friendship with him. In this beautifully illustrated book, Amy Welborn, well-known author and blogger, introduces Pope Benedict’s deep yet simple answers to questions put to him by children in Rome who had recently made their First Holy Communion.
BENEDICT AND CHICO The Life of Pope Benedict as Told by a Cat
BEAUTIFUL CHILDRENS GIFT
Benedict and Chico is the title of the book that you are about to read, a book full of illustrations which tell the story of somebody who is unique in all the world, the Pope himself!
So reads the introduction to Benedict and Chico – The Life of Pope Benedict XVI as told by a cat. The introduction is written by Mons Georg Ganswein, personal secretary to the Pope.
The book, in which Chico the cat describes the life of his “best friend”, Pope Benedict, is an authorised biography for children written by Jeanne Perego and illustrated by Donata Dal Molin Casagrande.
“Dear Children, here you will find a biography that is different to others because it is told by a cat and it is not every day a cat can consider the Holy Father his friend, and sit down to write his life story,” Mons Ganswein says.
Chico is a real cat who belongs to a German couple in the German city of Pentling, where the Pope lived until he moved to Rome in 1981. The couple are caretakers of the house where Cardinal Ratzinger had hoped to retire had he not been elected Pope.
