The “big work” of the second year children in the Atrium is their Missals. After laying out articles, pictures, and text cards representing the most important moments of the Mass in the order of the Liturgy, the children then begin the long, careful process of recording, illustrating, and internalizing the individual prayers which make up our most beautiful prayer, the Holy Mass. Their individual depictions of each moment are a fascinating view into their understanding and internalization of each prayer, and the front and back covers of each Missal show their individual syntheses of the collective prayers of the Mass.
