Clothed in Grace

What if she doesn't feel like she belongs there?

Every girl preparing for First Communion carries a question she may not know how to say out loud. Not about the theology. Not about the prayers. Something quieter... and harder than that.

Am I enough for this? Does Jesus actually want someone like me at His table?

Clothed in Grace was written for that girl.

In fifteen original short stories, fifteen different girls walk toward the same altar rail-each one carrying something unseen: a dress that doesn't fit, a family that doesn't believe, months of missed classes, a question she was too afraid to ask, a feeling she couldn't name.

One by one, each girl discovers the truth that was waiting for her all along:

Jesus didn't invite the ready ones. He invited everyone.

Inside these pages:

• Zara - walks into class to find every chair has a name tag except hers
• Sofia - moves her lips in prayer but doesn't know a single word
• Mei - wears her cousin's dress, three sizes too big, pinned at the back
• Priya - the only Catholic in her family, practicing the rosary alone
• Jade - overhears something that wasn't cruel... just true enough to hurt
• Nadia - returns after five months away and hopes no one asks why
• Amara - watches the "perfect" girls and wonders what she's missing
• Clara - sits quietly, certain no one even knows her name
• Blessing - whose candle stays lit when all the others go out
• Camille - doesn't quite see herself reflected in her parish
• Grace - sits on the bathroom floor and says she can't go
• Lily - practices the procession forty times... and walks it anyway
• Imani - finally asks the question she's been holding inside
• Ruby - imagines the moment 104 times-and gets it all wrong

Each story is rooted in Scripture.
Each one leads to the same table.

And the fifteenth story speaks directly to the girl holding this book-the one still finding her place.

Perfect for:

First Communion preparation
Meaningful First Communion gifts
Catholic girls ages 6-10
Faith formation and catechist classrooms
Parents who want their daughter to feel she belongs-before the big day arrives

She was always clothed in grace.
Now she'll finally know it.
