Rise Up Virtues Devotional for Kids
Rise Up: Shining with Virtue Devotional for Kids is a beautiful and remarkable collection on our Catholic faith for today’s children. This compilation of over a dozen writers offers, for the first time, an in-depth, age-appropriate view of virtues, steeped in Catholic tradition, for children ages 8-12.
Written in a seven-day format, the chapter opens with an introduction by Susanna Spencer, our Theological Editor who holds her Masters in Theology from Steubenville. She also offers a reflection on a Scripture passage that captures that virtue. For the next five days, one of our Blessed is She writers offers daily spirited reflections, spanning a moment in history class as Benjamin Franklin to being dubbed the superhero “Prudence” to performing a judo throw on her instructor. Those five days are begun with Scripture or a Saint quote, brief enough to memorize or pray and end in a short prayer authored by our Managing Editor, Nell O’Leary. Susanna wraps up the week with a thought-provoking and encouraging conclusion and prayer.
