"The King of the Golden City "is an allegory that beautifully illustrates Jesus' desire to share an intimate relationship with each one of His children. This RACE for Heaven study guide assists with Mother Loyola's allegory, makes connections to the Bible as well as to the catechism, and provides thoughtful discussion questions and activities to encourage spiritual growth. In addition, parents and older children will be encouraged-by quotations from the three Carmelite Doctors of the Church-to deepen their prayer lives and become more aware of the obstacles to an intimate relationship with our King. This study guide offers chapter-by-chapter insights that will help Catholics of all ages increase their love of Jesus in the Eucharist and enrich their understanding and practice of prayer.
