Mary, the First Disciple book

"My being proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit finds joy in God my Savior . . . ” (Luke 1:46-47)

 

Mary, the First Disciple is written for young Catholics, grades 7-10, to enable them to "proclaim the greatness of the Lord.” This is accomplished by actively involving the participants in an understanding of Mary as a model of openness and spirituality—a woman of the church. Through various projects, discussions, and liturgical celebrations over a period of months, the participants are provided with a unique opportunity to develop new insights into their personalities, friends, parents, and the world around them.
