Celebrating the Centenary of
Gianna Gobbi
with 100 Days of Joy!
Count Down - Day 36
Today, Sunday, November 10, 2019 day 36 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 Sensitive Periods"

Today we share from Gianna Gobbi's book Listening to God with Children, page 89:
"For the younger child, the 'face of God" which is most gratifying is that of Jesus the Good Shepherd. The parable of the Good Shepherd (found in John 10) contains the message of the totality and universality of God's love. The completeness of this love finds a response in all human situations.”

We are pleased to celebrate the Centenary of Gianna Gobbi's birth, a milestone in the history of
the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd by sharing this
"Pearl of Joy" with you!
Read more about Gianna in this new Commemorative Journal
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.
