Children's Daily Prayer 2015-2016

Children's Daily Prayer provides an order of prayer for each day of the school year, as well as Sundays. It is newly written annually . Designed to be led by students, these short liturgies of the word incorporate the gestures and patterns of Catholic worship, gradually forming students in the traditional rhythms of our prayer. Additional resources include prayer services for special observances, Home Prayer pages with simple rituals for family life, and helpful introductions with background on the liturgical seasons, advice on preparing a classroom environment conducive for prayer, guidance for coaching children as prayer leaders and readers, and music suggestions. This resource is a must for every classroom and religious education program, and is also helpful for home schooling families.
