Theology of an 11 Year Old



Written when I was 11 years old.  Glad I kept it!  Originally written for Family Enrichment Night at our church but I was too scared to make copies and hand them out. :) 
Families that pray together stay together!
This makes a family happy, and have a clean conscience in prayer and family life.  We shouldn’t have a house filled with noise and yelling, bickering, and bad words, for that is an unsettled lifestyle and also makes satan pleased which is not a good idea. Peace, smiles, hugs, and prayer are what a family needs to live for God.  Petitions before family prayer is a great time to share our thoughts and worries. God listens to children’s prayers with gratefulness.  If the family is practicing their faith, this gives everyone a happy state of mind. 
He Prayeth Well Who Loveth Well
Samuel Taylor Colridge

He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man and bird, and beast.

He prayed best, who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.

 Happy are those who pray to the Lord everyday and receive holy communion when they can!
  1. Nothing pleases the family more than an enriched relationship with each other and our Savior.
  2. It will prevent evil things like some magazines, movies, video games and TV shows from wandering in. 
  3. It will help your children choose a better life if they remember the memories of prayer.
  4. It helps to become better Catholics. 
  5. If your children decide to enter the religious life, or as Catholic parents, its you who helped them choose the right path.
  6. Your children will thank you.
  7. In Heaven, God will have abundant mercy on you.
  8. You are opening doors for your children and for each other.
  9. You are probably going to go to heaven if your life is centered on the Catholic Faith.
