By offering you this work of teaching among children, the Church has entrusted you with a great responsibility and, at the same time, a great privilege.
It is very important to proclaim the Gospel to children, because it is a commandment from the Lord. In addition, children are very open to the good news. They really like stories, and are ready to trust God.
If children turn to Jesus, the Church of tomorrow will be strong. So, through your teaching, you build the future Church.
Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by this responsibility? Know that God is with you - He is the same, yesterday, today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8). He is with you as he was with Abraham whose story we will read during this year.
Here is practical help for your very important work.
