Image of God second edition, Who Loves Me Always? is a
curriculum for second grade students preparing them for the
Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist. As a
Perform-a-text, the student textbook combines text and
activity in one book. Clear, comprehensive and interesting
presentation of the Catholic Faith based on seven key
concepts: God, Creation, Christ, Church, Grace, Sacraments
and Commandments. Stories from Scripture and the lives of
the saints give students Catholic role models and examples
of living the faith. The lessons emphasize God's mercy and
love through the story of salvation history, the coming of
Jesus as our Savior, and through the Sacraments as meetings
with Jesus. Through imitating the various saints' lives
that are studied, the students see how they can act as
images of God. Special focus is given to understanding the
parts of the Mass and participating fully in the
celebration of the Mass. The lessons are complimented by
colorful illustrations.
