“What do I want to be when I grow up?”
It’s the question children love to ponder (and act out) at an early age.
Here’s a question we parents might want to ask ourselves:
“How can I gently and lovingly help my children discern what God is calling them to be?”
And here’s a beautiful answer:
Read So Many Ways to Be Holy: A Child’s Book about Vocations with your child.
Charming pictures of children playing dress-up capture the joy that is to be found in all kinds of lives of service -- from being an artist, a doctor, or an astronaut to becoming a priest, a brother, or a nun, and more!
For each occupation, your child will learn:
- the patron saint who would protect and guide them
- to use their talents for the glory of God!
- Did you know that the patron saint of scientists is St. Albert the Great?
- And what about the patron saint of ...
- farmers?
- dancers?
- cooks?
- or fire fighters or truck drivers or ...?
After sparking childish imaginations, the book closes with this sweet prayer:
God, send your Holy Spirit to help me
become the person you made me to be;
to listen for your call; and to answer with a glad heart. Amen
