{"product_id":"praying-with-the-saints-for-girls","title":"Praying with the Saints for Girls","description":"An incredibly meaningful and lovely First Holy Communion gift for the young ladies in your life!\nThe Saints Can Teach Us To Pray\nThe Saints intercede for us--and they show us how to live holy lives. The Saints teach us to obey God’s will, to suffer with love, and to remain faithful to God no matter what. \n\nBut…HOW did they do these things? \n\nTHEY BECOME HOLY THROUGH PRAYER.\n\nLiving like the Saints starts and ends with prayer.\n\nAnd so, let’s explore HOW the Saints prayed. What were their favorite prayers? What prayers did they return to and rely on? How did these prayers fit their personalities and serve their unique lives?\nWritten for Girls\nBoys and girls are different. \n\nAlthough still developing in girls, the feminine genius differs from the masculine genius. God created men and women to complement each other, not to be the same and certainly not to compete with each other. \n\nTherefore, it is our duty as parents and Godparents to cultivate genuine and holy femininity in our young women. \n\nPraying with the Saints for Girls features only female Saints. \n\nIt is our hope that this all-star cast of heroic Catholic women will help girls see what holiness looks like for women, whether they are called to serve God in religious life or through the vocation of motherhood.\n\nGod created women to be receptive, generous, sensitive, and maternal. \n\nThese characteristics are written on the bodies and souls of women. However, women can only live as they were created to live if they are connected to their Creator. \n\nAnd we connect to our Creator through prayer. \n\nPraying with the Saints for Girls shares the stories of 20 heroic Catholic Women. Following a brief biography, the book explores one way this heroic woman connected to God through prayer. Then, the girl reading the book is challenged to explore and possibly adopt this method of prayer. \n\nFinally, at the end of the book, girls are invited to explore an index of prayers. The full text of prayers, as well as visuals and instructions for each prayer, are included in the index.\n\nPraying with the Saints for Girls was written specifically for girls at the age of First Holy Communion. The Saint biographies are short but engaging. Also, many of the prayers are very simple and easy for a child to learn and use.\n\nIt is our hope that the saints featured here can become a young girl’s companions as she grows. We also hope that young girls add these prayers to their spiritual treasure-chests so they can return to them often as they grow and head out into the world.\n\nPrayer and a relationship with the Saints connect us to the eternal. Remind the young women in your life that they are daughters of the Most High God, and that they, like the Saints before them, were made not for this world, but for heaven.\nBook Specifications\nPraying with the Saints for Girls is a hardcover book.\n\nSize: 6” x 9”\nFull color, 64 pages long.","brand":"Catholic Sprouts LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54304253640917,"sku":"BK-PWSG-01","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/4667\/files\/9f6f03478a55d4a3898987167e6c9ce0e20385754cd339e229c4e1a7ba575868.png?v=1784570685","url":"https:\/\/saintgeorgeco.com\/products\/praying-with-the-saints-for-girls","provider":"St. George ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
