Preface

As we enter the Third Millennium of Grace, we are aware of the great hunger among many, especially our young people, for some meaning and direction in life which begin with an introduction to Christ. The Catechism of the Catholic Church addresses the need to share, at every level of catechesis and in a variety of ways, the content of our Catholic Faith. This satisfying of the hunger for God begins with the spiritual food of our Faith, which is so well articulated in the Catechism. Father Kris Stubna and Mike Aquilina have taken the challenge and provide a rich source of spiritual nourishment in A Pocket Catechism for Kids.

Here we find in a concise and easily recognized and remembered fashion the essential elements of the Faith presented for young people. Most particularly attractive about A Pocket Catechism for Kids is the format of question and answer to the many inquiries that continually arise as people attempt to grow more deeply in their understanding of the Faith. Enriching the work is “A Treasury of Prayers” with its collection of beloved and well-used Catholic prayers.

As we move into the new millennium with its emphasis on evangelization — an outreach that includes sharing the Faith with so many of our young people — the questions that naturally arise will find initial answers in this handy, trustworthy catechetical tool. The authors have done all of us involved in catechesis a service by making available this useful introduction to the Faith.

In recommending A Pocket Catechism for Kids, I also ask God’s blessings on those who use it in the catechetical effort to help achieve the new evangelization that carries with it so much hope for the future of the Church as we attempt here and now to manifest God’s kingdom.
