A number of years ago we read Cloud of Witnesses: A Child&#039;s First Book of Saints and loved it. A few years ago we read, Lily Lolek, Future Saint, and really enjoyed it. Both my daughter and I enjoyed this book. It is a great read, and we will continue to track down other works from Katie to read. The description of this volume is:\r\n\r\n“In Oremus—Latin for “let us pray”, prayers from the Mass and other beloved Catholic prayers, in both English and Latin, are accompanied by master copies of some of the Church&#039;s most beautiful artwork. \r\n\r\nYoung Catholics will learn to pray in the language which Pope Saint John Paul II said elicits “a profound sense of the Eucharistic Mystery” while exploring, reflecting on, and being inspired by studies of masterpieces of Christian art, from Fra Angelico to Bouguereau. This stunning compendium is an invaluable resource for young Catholics to use both at Mass and at home.”\r\n\r\nKatie in the introduction states:\r\n\r\n“This book began as an idea to translate our First Faith Treasury board book, Let Us Pray: A Child’s First Book of Prayers (TAN Books, 2019), into Latin, the official language of the Church. It grew into the beautiful treasury you have in your hands today, thanks to the creative inspiration of the Holy Spirit.\r\n\r\nWe pray this collection helps children of all ages to fall more in love with the prayers of the Mass and other beloved Catholic prayers, while learning them both in English and in Latin; the language that Pope Saint John Paul II called “an expression of the unity of the Church” and a language which “through its dignified character elicited a profound sense of the Eucharistic Mystery” (Dominicae cenae, 10).\r\n\r\nIn addition to learning sacred prayers in Latin and using this compendium while participating in the liturgy, we want families to become more familiar with some of the great artistic masterpieces that reflect the mysteries of our faith. We hope that Meg Whalen’s studies of great master works will draw hearts and souls to the divine in an even deeper way. More practically, we also wish this book to serve as a launching point for exploring religious art and learning the practice of visio divina (“divine seeing”), an ancient form of prayer in which art is used to open one’s heart to meditation and conversation with God. \r\n\r\nPerhaps your children will further be encouraged to do their own master studies, copying the artwork in their own drawings and paintings, or as a family, you may be inspired to learn more of the history, details, and symbolism behind the pieces chosen for the book (you can find a list of the names and artists in the back). \r\n\r\nMay this book be a blessing to your family’s life of prayer and experience of the Mass, the highest form of prayer! May it help you develop a greater appreciation for the use of Latin in the life of the Church, as well as a greater love for the beauty and spiritual growth that visual art can bring to the faithful.”\r\n\r\nAnd Meg Whalen in the afterwards states about the art:\r\n\r\n“The practice of making master studies, or copies after master paintings, like the pictures in this book, is one that has been used for centuries. When we talk of these illustrations as copies, we don’t mean that we are stealing the work. Credit is always given to the original artist, usually by titling the new picture as “after Raphael” or “after Fra Angelico” and so on. \r\n\r\nThis practice of copying or studying master works helps us to learn from these artists in a real way, even though we aren’t able to learn from them in person. What better way for an artist to improve drawing or painting skills than by drawing or painting the works of the greatest artists who ever lived? And what better way to discover the sacred truths these artists depicted than by studying and recreating the symbols and details the artists included?\r\n\r\nIllustrating this book has made me grateful not only to have had the chance to study and draw these master works of sacred art, but also to contemplate, in the details the artist included, the depth and beauty of our Faith. \r\n\r\nI sincerely hope that this book inspires you to draw your own master studies as well. It is a wonderful way both to become a better artist and to grow closer to God, the Divine Artist.”\r\n\r\nThe list of works used as source material is:\r\n\r\nEvening Prayer, Pierre Edouard Frère, 19th century\r\nMain Apse, Altlerchenfelder Church, Vienna, Karl von Blaas, 19th century\r\nThe Prodigal Son, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, 17th century\r\nFor God So Loved the World, Artist Unknown, 18th century\r\nThe Adoration of the Shepherds, Guido Reni, 17th century\r\nLa Disputa, Raphael, 16th century\r\nThe Entry of Christ into Jerusalem, Félix Louis Leullier, 19th century\r\nMessa di Paolo III Farnese, Antonio Maria Panico, 17th century\r\nCreation of Adam, Michelangelo, 16th century\r\nAdoration of the Mystic Lamb (Ghent Altarpiece), Jan van Eyck, 15th century\r\nChrist and the Centurion, Paolo Veronese, 16th century\r\nThe Eucharist Wreathed in Flowers, Jan Anton van der Baren, 17th century\r\nThe Annunciation, Fra Angelico, 15th century\r\nHoly Trinity, Hendrick van Balen, 17th century\r\nQueen of the Angels, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 19th century\r\nGrace Before the Meal, Evert Pieters, 19th century\r\n\r\nThe list of prayers included in this volume are:\r\n\r\nSign Of The Cross\r\nConfiteor\r\nKyrie\r\nGloria\r\nNicene Creed\r\nSanctus\r\nMortem Tuam\r\nOur Father\r\nAgnus Dei\r\nDomine, Non Sum Dignus\r\nTantum Ergo\r\nHail Mary\r\nGlory Be\r\nSalve Regina\r\nGrace Before Meals\r\n\r\nThis is a magnificent volume, for young readers, and for the young at heart. I enjoyed it just as much as my daughter. The illustrations are amazing. The layout and design is excellent. The only thing missing would have been links to download or watch online audio versions of the Latin Prayers to make sure we are getting them correct. \r\n\r\nIt is a great book to add to the family, school, or church library.
