GS and Child Podcast | Season 2

Episode 79- Ch. 6 of The Religious Potential of the Child- The Historical Events in the Life of Jesus Christ

“…good news of a great joy which will come to all the people.”  Luke 2:10

Merry Almost Christmas!  As an early Christmas gift to all our listeners we would like to gift you the audio version of Ch. 6 of The Religious Potential of the Child, 3rd Edition, read by Rebekah Rojcewicz. This is a perfect chapter for this season.  We hope it enriches your spiritual encounter with Christ during this celebration of His birth! The whole audio version of the book is available only through the Podbean App. We hope you enjoy!

The Religious Potential of the Child is not a “how-to” book, complete with lesson plans and material ideas. Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child’s spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old.  The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many.  The work of many hands has combined to bring this release to life through our podcasting tool.

CGSUSA has created a Premium Podcast Channel for this audiobook through Podbean.  There is a one-time cost of $29.00 and does include the audio version of all chapters of The Religious Potential of the Child, 3rd Edition all read by Rebekah Rojcewicz.  We have provided both video overview instructions and written instructions on accessing this audiobook HERE.  Please use these resources. Unlike the regular podcast, which will remain free and available on many podcast players/apps, this new resource is available only on the Podbean App, which you may download from the IOS App store or the Google Play App store. The CGSUSA Staff are happy to provide assistance should you need help in navigating these new waters.  Please Contact Us.  This is the most efficient path to accessing the staff members who can best assist you.

First you must download the Podbean App from either the Apple App or the Google Play stores.  Next, you must create a free Podbean account.  Once you have installed and logged into Podbean on your mobile device, you are ready to search for The Religious Potential of the Child and purchase. The two videos HERE will walk you through the process.  Should you prefer more detailed instructions, we also have a written guide within THIS page and linked through the button at the bottom.  If you are unfamiliar with In-App purchases, you may find these resources helpful.

Formation for Adults

Adults are given the opportunity to embrace a method of religious education that will deepen one’s relationship with God.

Recent Updates from CGSUSA

Welcome to CGSUSA

We believe God and the child have a unique relationship with one another. Children need their own place to foster the growth of that relationship. The growth of this relationship is assisted by the adult, but is directed by the Spirit of God within the child.

What is the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd? The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd was born from the joy of the children’s encounter with God. It has been observed that children of the same developmental stage, even those from widely varying cultural backgrounds, respond to elements of the Christian message in the same way.

We read in the Gospel of Mark that Jesus sent his disciples out in pairs, two by two; the journey was not meant to be a solitary one. It is essential for us as catechists to support one another as we prepare materials, work in the atrium, and observe the child. We come together in unity, as members of CGSUSA, to share the joy of this work.

Through their joy, their wonder and awe, their capacity for love and prayer, and their radical simplicity, children offer us adults a glimpse of what it means to fall in love with God. This has been the work of CGSUSA for over 30 years: to advocate for the child’s joy.
