Akten voor en na de Heilige Communie Voor de kleine kinderen

This quietly lyrical work offers young readers a series of heartfelt prayers and promises designed to accompany them before and after receiving Holy Communion. Written in the gentle, reverent Dutch of the early 1900s, it was created as a devotional companion for children preparing for this sacred milestone, and it carries the blessing of Pope Pius X himself.

The text is divided into distinct ‘acts’: a declaration of faith, thanks for the love of the infant Jesus, vows to obey parents and teachers, and pleas for patience and kindness. Each section invites the child to speak directly to Christ, recalling the humble birth, the suffering on the cross, and the desire to welcome him into the heart. The language stays simple enough for a small child while still echoing the profound reverence of Catholic tradition, making it a comforting resource for families and catechists alike.
