Celebrating the Centenary of
Gianna Gobbi
with 100 Days of Joy!
Count Down - Day 50
Today, Sunday, October 27, 2019 day 50 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 "Two Lines of Education"

Today we share from Gianna Gobbi's book Listening to God with Children, page 69:
"People tend to think that serious theological concepts are incomprehensible to young children, even though experiences has revealed that the link between God and the child is deeply rooted. Even from a very young age, the child has the capacity to see the invisible within the visible (or the transcendent within the perceivable.) The young child had a capacity for living in profound rapport with God which expresses itself in prayer.”

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.
