Praying With The Saints For Boys
Learn to pray from the SAINTS!
The Saints offer us more than incredible stories.
Studying the lives of the Saints allows us to see how others followed Christ, so we might do the same. The Saints can teach us to obey God’s will, to suffer with love, and to remain faithful to God no matter what.
However, when you study the lives of the Saints, you quickly realize that HOW the Saints accomplished all of these incredible things is always the same.
PRAYER.
Living like the Saints starts and ends with prayer.
And 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?
Written for Boys
Boys and girls are different.
Although still developing in boys, the masculine genius differs from the feminine genius. God created men and women to complement each other, not to be the same.
Therefore, it is our duty as parents and Godparents to cultivate genuine and holy masculinity in our young boys.
Praying with the Saints for Boys features only male Saints. It is our hope that this all-star cast of heroic Catholic men will help young boys see what holiness looks like in men, whether they are called to serve God in religious life or through the vocation of fatherhood.
God created men to protect, defend, and love sacrificially. These duties are written in their bodies and their souls. However, men can live as they were created to live only if they are connected to their Creator, and we connect to our Creator through prayer.
Praying with the Saints for Boys shares the stories of 20 heroic Catholic men.
Following a brief biography, the book explores one way this heroic man connected to God through prayer. Then, the boy reading the book is challenged to explore and possibly adopt this method of prayer.
