Baltimore Catholic Catechism! Thank you! Wow!

 1st Communion! Remembered!

Lovely Lady Candice Leah and I have been searching far and wide 
for 1949 edition of the Baltimore Catechism which version I used 
way "back-n-the-day" studying for my holy-sacred 1st Communion.!

The cover on my "long-lost" copy was a beautiful light-blue  background 
picturing a boy in a suit and tie and a girl in a brilliant white lacey dress.
Each had their hands reverently folded and were walking down a church aisle.

Inside that book were the "reverent" teachings of the Catholic Church! Perfect!

About 2 years ago, give or take, Candy wrote to a guy in Philadelphia 
explaining what we sought; he is an "old-book" dealer. He found one!

We got a letter from him recently and the Catechism arrived, Friday.

So close! The cover is blue and sports Jesus' Glorious Resurrection. Close!

My copy was fairly thin with a light-weight "paper" cove; this one is 
heavy-stock and the text is very elaborate, mor for an adult. Very-nice!
Mine was "lighter" on instruction, geared more to a "child" capability.

The "new" one we just received is an instructional on "old" Catholicism!

 Pre-dating the infamous and devastating 1962 Vatican II Encyclical. this 
version is Reverent on Truth! Inspiring on God & Church holy-sacred Law!
Reading the worthy-words leads to a Satiated-Spirit of Peace-through-Love!

We'll keep an eye-out for an exact copy of my cherished "lost"-copy!

But---this fine "gift" born of Love!...Works just right for now. Thank you!

Truly! It's always the "little"-things in life that actually matter the-most!

"Who made us?" "God made us!" "Why?" How?" "Purpose?" Etc. Amen!

Amen!
