Notes

Come My Jesus: Prayers and Instructions for Children is a traditional Catholic devotional book commonly given to children at the time of their First Holy Communion, designed to help them understand and reverently prepare for the sacraments. Written in simple, child-friendly language, it explains core Catholic teachings—especially the Eucharist, Confession, and the Mass—while guiding children in how to pray, examine their conscience, and receive Communion worthily. The book typically includes basic prayers, reflections, illustrations, and practical instructions that foster a personal love for Jesus and encourage a lifelong habit of prayer and sacramental life, making it both a keepsake and a spiritual guide during an important milestone in a child’s faith journey.
