f- - ^JESUS I iimuin 1 1 ' iiwi iww ws***# wmm TO THE TEACHER: This textbook has been designed as a student-tool to accompany our My Jesus and I charts. The charts are large wall demonstra- tion guides, from which the teacher conducts instruction. The pupils fol- low the charts from their booklets. Experience indicates that the best re- sults are achieved when the teacher, using the chart, has the pupil use the My Jesus and I text in conjunction with it. Children usually receive their First Holy Communion during their second grade. Catechists have always found it difficult to decide on suitably organ- ized material for the first grade child. My Jesus and I will surely fill a need. It includes a study of the usual prayers, as well as of proper conduct at home, church, and school. * LOUIS LARAVOIRE MORROW Bishop of Krishnagar My Jesus and I BY BISHOP MORROW Copyright, 1949, by LOUIS LARAVOIRE MORROW.

He is a good Friend, who loves little children like you. One day, when Jesus was very tired, little boys and girls crowded about Him. The Apostles tried to send them away. But Jesus said: “Let the children come to Me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” He did not want the chil- dren sent away, loving them always. Jesus wants little boys and girls to know how He lived, and what He taught. He wants us all to be good, loving one another, and obeying our teachers and parents. Some day, when we are in heaven, we shall see Jesus, our dear Friend. Then we shall be happy with Him forever. * LOUIS LARAVOIRE MORROW Bishop of Krishnagar
