Celebrating the Centenary of
Gianna Gobbi
with 100 Days of Joy!
Count Down - Day 43
Today, Sunday, November 3, 2019 day 43 in our countdown of 100 days leading to the celebration of Gianna Gobbi's Centenary. 

Each Sunday during this countdown, we are introducing the theme for the week. This week's theme is "The Four Phases of Development and Education"

Today we share from Gianna Gobbi's book Listening to God with Children, page 73:
"For the young child, the world is full of surprises and wonder. This is also the time of the greatest transformations in the child. Observing a child from birth to one, we note the great differnces from a child of three who can talk, walk independently, and so forth. Furthernore, in the phase from 0 to 6 years, the foundations are laid for all the psychic characteristics that will accompany the child throughout life and will constitute the child's personality.”

This special Commemorative Journal allows Gianna Gobbi’s voice and spirit to remind us of the beauty, value, and gift of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and how we as adults must behold, must “see” the child before us, allowing for their contemplation of and enjoyment in the presence of God.
