Captivated by the New Mass?

January 15, 2012 by Monica McConkey 2 Comments

So it’s the 7th Sunday with the New Mass! I’m learning that it’s definitely a PROCESS! Those responses that we have been saying for years and years are hard to shake!

With the release of the 3rd Edition of the Roman Missal, our family apostolate Arma Dei released a revised Craft Kit called Color Me Catholic. A few of my favorite Catholic bloggers agreed to review my new Craft Kit, assembling and coloring the 10 booklets with their kids and trying them out as they jump into the New Mass. I know that I did not do justice to the posts of these gracious ladies and their helpful reviews and pictures, when the reviews were posted during the Advent and Christmas seasons!
So, changing up the Link of LightBulbs a little…here are
Links of Reviews for Color Me Catholic:

(1) Laura explains a little about the 10 booklet templates within the Color Me Catholic Craft Kit on her blog Day by Day in Our World: Unlike lapbooking, these mini-booklets are meant to be read like a book. There are 10 mini-booklets in all that cover treasured Vessels, Vestments & Symbols, Church Furnishings, Parts of the Mass and Sacraments & Sacramentals plus 8 pages of phrases from the New Roman Missal Mass in sequential order. Check out Laura’s review of Color Me Catholic!

(1) Tracy says “These Mass booklets are a perfect size for little hands and material is covered a little at a time to keep children’s attention without being too overwhelming.” Check out Slice of Smith Life for the complete review!

The folder holds the entire collection of 10 booklets as shown here:

My thoughts: I enjoy using Monica’s product with my children. These Mass booklets are a perfect size for little hands and material is covered a little at a time to keep children’s attention without being too overwhelming. My children will be using these booklets and coloring them a little at a time as we review the Mass responses. I will be using Color Me Catholic: New Roman Missal Edition as weekly guides to teach during our religion classes during our homeschool days. I think the more we use them the more familiar our family will be with the new mass responses, which is the intention of the product.
