Résumé :

Join in the adventures of young Catholics Hannah and Andy as they learn that a good life requires a solid faith and that God has given us the sacraments to guide and sustain us along the way.

This graphic novel's vivid images and engaging stories will captivate you even as you learn along the way, and without effort, about Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion. Activities at the end of each story will help fix in your mind and heart the meanings of these three powerful sacraments.

Along with Hannah and Andy, you'll learn:

• How Baptism frees us from sin.
• Why babies wear white baptismal gowns.
• The vital role of godparents.
• Why water, chrism, and candles are used during a Baptism.
• How Confirmation prepares us to share our faith with others.
• What the Holy Spirit has to do with Confirmation.
• How Confirmation helps us to serve God with our actions.
• Why we have Confirmation sponsors.
• Why we receive the Eucharist at Mass.
• How we are empowered by Christ in the Eucharist.
• How the bread and wine are transformed into Christ's Body and Blood at Mass.
• What it means to be a part of the Body of Christ.
• How good friendships help us grow in love of God.
• And much more to ignite your faith and bring it vividly to life!

Sommaire:
Cardinal Peter Gasparri, once a papal candidate, was perhaps the most influential theologian of his time. At the request of Pope St. Pius X, he authored the first major Code of Canon Law in Church history -- a staggering achievement in and of itself -- and then followed it with one of the greatest single-volume compendiums of Catholic doctrine ever written.This immensely popular catechism is back in print for the first time in almost a century as part of the monumental Tradivox series, in its most beautiful binding to date. In every way meriting its auspicious title of The Catholic Catechism, this acclaimed work offers an extensive and logical explanation of the Faith, masterfully arraying the teachings of the Church in three learning levels: to prepare children for Holy Communion, to instruct older children in the catechism, and to offer formation for adults by enriching their understanding of Church teachings.This gem of a resource was designed not only to help individuals deepen their faith but also for widespread use by catechists in the universal Church. In fact, it was rapidly translated into multiple languages after its release and was widely expected to be adopted as the Vatican's universal catechism.In this treasured volume, His Eminence explains the purpose of the catechism -- to stir up men's hearts and help them lead moral lives in harmony with divine truth. To this end, he includes detailed footnotes that provide teachers with scriptural and practical examples of truths of the Faith to share with their students, along with recommendations on how to live these teachings in daily life.As you absorb the Church's fundamental teachings in these evergreen pages, you will find: Clear and accessible definitions of core theological termsDetailed descriptions of the sacraments and their power in effecting graceReflections on the meaning of traditional prayers and related themesPractical instructions on leading a life of virtue and overcoming temptationAnswers to disputed questions touched on in the catechismExplanations of the Church's social and moral teachingsAlso included are numerous biblical and primary sources, saints' writings, extensive excerpts from important Church documents, and thorough appendices for easy referencing and further exploration....
