Seeds of Faith for Children

By Rosemarie Gortler & Donna Piscitelli.

Little seeds grow into beautiful flowers!

Your faith is like a little seed that God planted in your heart when you were baptized...

But what is faith anyway?

How do we make it grow?

Just like a seed needs the right things to grow -- water, air, dirt, and care -- your faith needs some important things to grow, like:

Prayers - talking to God every day makes him happy and makes our faith grow
The Creed - it's what we believe about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit
The Ten Commandments - how to behave that makes us the best people we can be
The Sacraments - a big word for the special gifts God gives us when we love and follow him
Sacred Objects - holy reminders of our friendship with God

The seeds of faith will grow and grow when you love and trust God. This makes God very happy, and it will make you happy too!
