Preaching in congregations with many children is one of the most difficult challenges many preachers face. Whether you are a priest, deacon, catechist, or prayer leader, this book offers practical help in crafting specific homilies for children. Drawing on insights gleaned within the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Garrido helps preachers understand key characteristics of childhood and childrens spirituality and presents ways to reflect on Scripture through the lens of the young child. Preachers will discover that they are preachingwithchildren, rather than preachingtothem
