The Plan of God

Jane, grade 5, drew this after the History of the Jewish People lesson to represent her understanding of Jewish/Christian relationships in Sacred History. It shows our common past, our separate paths at this time, and our common future - united in the kingdom of God.

Children have a deep relationship with God, rich in love and profound joy. They know God, even before God's name is spoken to them. God dwells in the heart of the child. The spirituality of the child has so much to teach us as adults, yet often we are in too much of a hurry to truly listen.
With this blog, we at the Center for Children and Theology invite you to listen for God with children. For over twenty years, we have collected theological reflections, artwork and prayers of children, generally in response to their work in the Montessori-based religious formation program called the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. The names of children have been changed to protect their privacy.
