Synopsis

Lord Jesus, I Want to See... is a weekly prayer book to help children and families begin their week right, and encourages them to work on concepts of friendship, faith, love, generosity, forgiveness, and thankfulness. Today's youth are in desperate need of character building and moral guidance; this is key in creating good citizens and a healthy society for the next generation. Unfortunately, due to political correctness and other social trends, moral character and wholesome virtues have taken a back seat to superficial pursuits -- appearance, charm, glamour, fame, social status, and possessions.

We must demand and encourage the children of this great nation and its future generations to work on and acquire the qualities and moral characteristics that help them achieve well-being and happiness.

Lord Jesus, I Want to See... recognizes that gone are the days that we can demand and require our children to memorize and recite all the traditional prayers. After twenty plus years of service to God's Children, in parishes and seminary, the reflections I share above have culminated in a new format of praying and prayer. The lessons shared are rooted in Holy Scriptures, daily topics, personal experiences, character-building, and practical spiritual exercises. This devotional book is designed to be self-reflecting, easy reading, and guide each child to work on what is truly important while spending time in the presence of Jesus. Rev. Peter G. Vu

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Rev. Peter G. Vu is the author of the prayer book Lord Jesus, I want to see... . He is a Catholic priest of the Diocese of Grand Rapids, Michigan for twenty years. He was born in Saigon City (currently Ho Chi Minh City), Viet Nam. He was a young boy when the Viet Nam War ended. He witnessed the war and the end of it with great horror and deep appreciation for peace. He grew up under the communist government system and endured lots of hardship. What helped him and many of his countrymen tremendously during those dark days was their faith and prayers. His love for prayer and meditation was able to blossom. After High School, Vu snuck out by boat and came to the United States of America to begin his seminary training. He attended one year of High School in the USA (Union High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan) to learn the language and new culture. He attended Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan for two years while staying at Christopher House Seminary. Then, the Seminary sent him out of state to attend his last two years of college at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. He graduated with double major: Mathematics and Philosophy. He then attended graduate school at the University of St. Mary of the Lake and Mundelein Seminary in Chicago, Illinois. Vu graduated at the top of his class and was ordained with the Master Degree of Divinity (MDiv) and the Sacred Theology Baccalaureate (STB). He was a student of Most Reverend Bishop Robert Barron, who is the prolific writer and international speaker. Vu has been ministering to people of God at six different churches over the last twenty years. --This text refers to the paperback edition.
