Publisher Description:

Catholic Prayers for Children is a delightful book of prayers for children handed down from generation to generation. This is a simple collection of catholic prayers and reflections for children. The Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church, is the world's largest Christian Church, with 1.16 billion members worldwide. It is among the oldest institutions in the world and has played a prominent role in the history of western civilization. The Catholic Church has many prayers which are used to pray individually or in group liturgies. In some cases, these prayers are shared by other groups of Christians-as is the case with the "Our Father" or "The Lord's Prayer." The author, Karen Jean Matsko Hood, was raised Roman Catholic and has collected some traditional Catholic prayers she was taught as a young girl to share with others today.

Contributor Bio(s): Hood, Karen Jean Matsko: - Karen Jean Matsko Hood began writing as a shy author, but has now developed a voice that is all her own. Karen exhibits a unique story as well as a voice of empathy and purpose. Ms. Hood's writing is strong-minded. She is a meticulous wordsmith and combines stories with compassion. Karen has always loved children and is devoted to the needs of children. It is only natural that she would channel her efforts to include children's books and poetry. Karen reminds us of the importance of our links with nature and environment in our daily lives. Her writing carries the urgency and outrage of the current social injustice and inequality. The recurring theme in Ms. Ms. Hood's work is to provide a voice for those whose struggle cannot be heard. Hood's writing brings poignancy to the most hopeless of situations. She is romantic in her vision for a quest for dignity and social justice. Karen also writes about personal and spiritual themes. She is passionate both as a feminist and as an active children's rights advocate. Hood also works to encourage literacy for all ages. Her blend of traditionalism and modernism brings a current freshness and uniqueness to her own poetic voice. She is versatile in her writing style and is able to incorporate a wide range of themes and topics. Her poems have been published in a myriad of magazines and publications. Karen was born and raised in Great Falls, Montana. In May 2001, she completed her Master's Degree in Pastoral Ministry at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. Hood is working on research projects to complete her Ph.D. in Leadership Studies at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. She resides in Liberty Lake, Washington, along with her husband, many of her younger sixteen children. Her hobbies include cooking, baking, collecting, photography, indoor and outdoor gardening, farming, and the cultivation of unusual flowering plants and orchids.
