The Word Made Flesh and the Words We Read
Genevieve O'Connor, MFA, MTS, is joined by Sister Immaculata Marie Policare to discuss the spiritual and practical importance of reading in Catholic families. Sister suggests that every encounter with Truth in the written word is an encounter with Jesus who is The Word. They discuss testimonies and research to highlight the benefits of reading for children of all ages. Genevieve and Sister agree that stories can play an important and helpful role in the moral formation of children and even college students. Later, Genevieve is rejoined by Dr. Mike St. Pierre to zero in on the idea that children today lack exposure to the "world of words" and tend to prefer a "world of images."
