Little Caterpillar That Finds Jesus (La Oruguita que Encuentra a Jesus) : A Parable of the Eucharist

by Susan A. Brindle

A parable of the Eucharist. Written in both Spanish and English, The Little Caterpillar that Finds Jesus is a charming tale which unveils to the reader the mystery of love found in the Sacrifice of the Mass and in receiving and adoring the Holy Eucharist. On a beautiful, sunny spring morning, little Gloriana, the caterpillar, goes for a nap wrapped in the soft petals of her favorite flower. To her dismay, however, the flower is picked--with her inside it!--for the parish's First Communion celebration. Thus begins Gloriana's adventurous journey into the church. Lost and terrified in a strange world unlike her own flowery garden, Gloriana hears a loving Voice speaking to her. Her search for the source of that Voice leads her to an astounding discovery which fills her with love and entirely transforms her, changing her life forever. Your child's life will be changed, too, after reading or hearing this amazing story!
