Children will experience the love and care of Jesus, the Good Shepherd!
Jesus is the Good Shepherd, and we are his sheep. With love and care, Jesus leads his sheep into the safety of the sheepfold, where he lovingly cares for and protects them. The Good Shepherd will die for his sheep. Through Montessori-style play, children can begin to develop their own relationship with Jesus, the Good Shepherd. Children learn to trust in a loving and tender God.
The open-ended design of the sheepfold blocks allow for lots of creative play. Children practice and develop patience by matching the angles on the blocks into the circular fold- and can also create walls, roads and whatever else they imagine!
Assembled sheepfold is 9.5 inches across. Sheepfold blocks are ~3 inches wide. Jesus figure is 3.5 inches tall.
I love my St Benedict beads! They are with me always, a constant source of comfort and a handy aid to prayer. I love how they fit discretely in my hand and never get tangled! I bought more to give as gifts to my family.
Bishop Fulton Sheen was as well known in his day as our present bishop Robert Barron or father Mike Schmitz of the “Bible in a Year” fame. You can still find video clips of many of his sermons. But I did not know he had written a book on the sacraments. This book is fantastic!
