Help Children Feel Comfortable at Mass
For those of us who go to Mass often, it’s easy to forget just how intimidating it is for those who aren’t familiar with the liturgy. When do I sit, stand, and kneel? What do I say (and when do I say it)? If you aren’t familiar with these things, it’s easy to feel as though you stand out and don’t belong. But you do!
Receiving Jesus: My Guide to the Mass helps children become comfortable going to Mass by showing them not only when to sit, stand, and kneel and what to say but also why we do the things we do at Mass. They’ll learn about the roles of the different people they see at Mass, like the ushers, lectors, cantors, deacons, and priests. This is the perfect book for them to bring to Mass!
As they grow in understanding, their love for Christ and for the Mass will also grow deeper.
Ages 7-9

This a great book/guide. I purchased it for myself. I take it to church with me every week and follow along. Maybe I'm a slow learner. I 'm enjoying mass much more with a clearer understanding. I highly recommend it.
The book is exactly what I hoped it would be, detailed with beautiful illustrations ready to catch the eye of a child. I have kids ranging from 8-14 years old and have all benefitted from this book! I suggest the purchase for your kids regardless if they have completed their sacraments. The detailed teachings are straight forward and easy to teach to children, heck, there was some things I didn't know myself. I can now feel confident my children have a better understanding of mass and how everything we do is for a purpose. God is good! Thank you Ascension for the products you have created bringing us closer to the Lord ❤️🙏
I felt this book was very well done and clear for the intended age groups. The text anticipated a number of questions kids are likely to wonder about even if they don’t ask them. I bought this for a grandson who was not ready for First. Communion this year and needed extra preparation. My only concern was cost because (of my 15 grandkids) sip many of them could benefit from this booklet.
Great little book to explain what is going on during Mass. it’s great for what it does but I’m looking for something more— a book for young adults (Catholic or otherwise) who are attending Mass with a significant other. My daughter will try to quickly explain what is happening during Mass to her boyfriend. A pocket guide would be a nice option for him!
