For children, learning about saints can be inspiring and comforting, as saints show us how to love God and others in simple and extraordinary ways. Saints help us by being role models. Their stories teach children that anyone, no matter their age or background, can follow Jesus and do good in the world. For example, Saint Francis of Assisi teaches us to care for nature and animals, while Saint Thérèse of Lisieux shows that even small acts of kindness can bring us closer to God. These examples help children see how they can live their faith every day. Saints also help us through their prayers. Just as we ask friends or family to pray for us, we can ask saints to pray to God on our behalf. This is called intercession. Knowing that saints are praying for them gives children comfort and encouragement, especially during difficult times. > Pages include topics: Mary teaches us about loving mothers St. Joseph teaches us about loving fathers St. Francis teaches us about love for the world St. Joan of Arc teaches us about faith in God St. Patrick teaches us to reach out to others St. Anthony teaches about love for the poor
