Look at the Light
During times of suffering, loss, and grief, each of us needs companions who console and strengthen us. As Christians, we also need to understand our experience in light of our faith. At such times, Sofia Cavalletti offered her friend Patricia Coulter such guidance and encouragement. We will all benefit from reading the excerpts from her letter to Coulter, as well as meditating on the questions and carefully selected texts from Scripture and liturgy that Coulter provides. Many people are familiar with Sofia Cavalletti's writings on the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. These books help to train catechists and give the theological and pedagogical warrants for that approach to the spiritual formation of children. In this book we have a rare glimpse into her personal life and her deep care for her friends, in this case, her student and friend Patricia Coulter.

Way of Holy Joy
Co-founder of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and scholar of Hebrew Scriptures, Cavalletti offers her insight into the spiritual life of children.
The Good Shepherd and the Child
Anyone familiar with the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd has probably encountered the early description of this approach to the religious formation of the child in The Good Shepherd and the Child: A Joyful Journey. With major contributions by Sofia Cavalletti, Gianna Gobbi, Silvana Montanaro, and Patricia Coulter, this book has long been a “core text’ for catechists and also for parents of children in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Now there is a new edition, which reflects the changes in the presentations and the materials that Sofia Cavalletti made in the years before her death in August 2011. The original contributions of the authors are retained in Part I. In Part II, long time...
The Good Shepherd and the Child
'The constant message of this book is that children's natural openness to and wonder of God's presence can be nurtured by caring adults who listen, pray, and journey with them in the faith. It is through hearing and learning with the heart about the story and the image of the Good Shepherd that children can be led to the joy of the Good News.' - Book cover.
The Infinite Mercy of God
"This inspiring, faith-filled book assists us in discovering (or rediscovering) the gift of Reconciliation in our lives. Featuring Sofia Cavalletti’s never-before-published insights based on her deep biblical and pastoral background, along with a compilation of Pope Francis’ hope-filled words, it offers a uniquely positive vision of this sacrament as a personal experience of the boundless mercy and tenderness of God. Sofia Cavalletti and Pope Francis share a passionate dedication to delving into the depths of God’s infinite tenderness offered in Reconciliation. They provide glimpses of the beauty in this sacrament against the vast horizon of God’s plan of love and of the gift of Reconciliation that many have yet to experience. Amid our hectic lives, this beautiful book offers a moment of stillness--an unexpected grace that we can carry with us wherever we go."--
The Religious Potential of the Child
Publisher's description. This classic book describes an experience with children from ages three to six, an experience of adults and children dwelling together in the mystery of God. Known as the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, this way of religious formation is profoundly biblical and sacramental, and it is, at the same time, deeply respectful of the nature of young children, who make their way to God in freedom and joy. 'The Religious Potential of the Child' is not a 'how-to' book, complete with lesson plans and material ideas. Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: 'Help me come closer to God by myself.' Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information.
The Religious Potential of the Child
This book describes the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a Montessori-based style of catechesis that focuses on the child’s independent journey to God by working with materials in a specially prepared place called an atrium. Written by Sofia Cavaletti, the Italian scripture scholar who developed the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, this classic work demonstrates the profound spiritual capabilities of children as brought forth through their engagement in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. This book is important for anyone desiring to learn about the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd or the spiritual life of children ages 3-6. Sofia Cavaletti is an internationally known biblical scholar and was a member of the committee that prepared the Directory for Masses with Children. Together with her collaborator, Gianna Gobbi, a Montessori educator, she has traveled throughout the world forming catechists in this essentially oral method and helping to establish catechetical centers modeled on their Centro di Catechesi in Rome.
The Spiritual Guidance of Children
This book is an important “history-of-traditions” work in which Godly Play founder Jerome Berryman re-visions religious education as spiritual guidance and traces the history of Montessori religious education through four generations. Berryman then highlights the development of the Godly Play approach to spiritual guidance within this context and concludes with thoughts about the fifth generation and the future of the tradition.
Offering the Gospel to Children
Gretchen Wolff Pritchard shows how to offer the gospel imaginatively to children, with practical ideas on children's worship, liturgy, drama, pastoral care, and study of the Bible.
