As a C.C.D. class text
Each story is accompanied by the unabridged lectionary reading, reprinted under license from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
It is a comforting routine to follow each week's C.C.D. class with a reading from the following Sunday's Mass from Hear My Voice. It sends children into Mass with a leg up on the message of that mass. Children sit through Mass anticipating the part with which they are already familiar.As an evening reader for parents and children
When parents read Hear My Voice with children at bedtime Saturday night, families share an enjoyable Catholic experience that sends young and old into Mass anticipating the reading they shared the previous evening. Bending low to whisper into a child's ear, "Here comes the part we read about last night," is so much more satisfying than, "Stop fidgeting or there'll be no donuts after church."Examine the sample pages. Hear My Voice, A Children's Translation of Gospel Readings of the Catholic Mass for 2009 is 123 pages covering just the Gospel readings for the Sunday masses of Year B, for 2009. Every page is full color, every reading is illustrated in this beautiful simple style. The illustrations depict the readings as enacted by children. They are simple and Mediterranean in appearance, reflecting the time and region where Jesus walked among us.
