Rise Up: Shining with Virtue Devotional for Kids is a beautiful and remarkable collection on our Catholic faith for today’s children. This compilation of over a dozen writers offers, for the first time, an in-depth, age-appropriate view of virtues, steeped in Catholic tradition, for children ages 8-12.
In over 250 pages, each chapter addresses on one of fifteen virtues, all inspired by Saint Thomas Aquinas’ writings on virtues in his influential work, Summa Theologiae.
This book received the “imprimatur” and “Nihil Obstat” designations from Bishop Olmsted in the Diocese of Phoenix, meaning none of the materials contradict Catholic doctrine or moral law.
Written in a seven-day format, the chapter opens with an introduction by Susanna Spencer, our Theological Editor who holds her Masters in Theology from Steubenville. She also offers a reflection on a Scripture passage that captures that virtue. For the next five days, one of our Blessed is She writers offers daily spirited reflections, spanning a moment in history class as Benjamin Franklin to being dubbed the superhero “Prudence” to performing a judo throw on her instructor. Those five days are begun with Scripture or a Saint quote, brief enough to memorize or pray and end in a short prayer authored by our Managing Editor, Nell O’Leary. Susanna wraps up the week with a thought-provoking and encouraging conclusion and prayer.

Loved this devotional to be intentional with our children in connecting and growing in Gods word!
We have enjoyed beginning this devotional.
The art work is adorable but in my opinion the content seems more geared toward tweens or teens. The art work and reviews made me think it would work for younger school aged children but a lot of the content is not simplified for a diverse younger audience. However this is just my opinion. Others may feel it works for their young children.
