Author: Suzanne M. Lewis. 350 pg. PB.

Children's Daily Prayer is a lovely, step-by-step method for praying every day of the school year. At its heart is a simple order of prayer easily led by a student. This is the Church's ancient way to begin the day. This volume of LTP's popular annual resource for praying in the classroom has everything you need to pray on a given day found on one page!

This great catechetical tool features:

a clear, easy-to-follow format

prayer for every day of the school year with a reading from the daily mass

an opening that explains the readings, describes its background, defines difficult vocabulary, and highlights feasts of the day

a psalm with responses that may be photocopied

silent reflection questions

prayer services for feasts and special occasions

additional psalms and canticles

a feature called "Also on this Day" indicates secular holidays and major observances of other religions

These features help you deepen and enrich classroom prayer. There is also a teacher's introduction that offers insights into how children pray and how to pray with them. Seasonal introductions explain the liturgical seasons and suggest how to create conducive environments for the season's prayer.
