Faithfulness to prayer leads to a recognition of the need and an
acceptance of the responsibility to pray for one another. By
providing short prayers for each day of the school year, "Daily
Prayer in the Classroom" assists teachers, parents, and others in
the experience of praying with children each day.
"Daily Prayer in the Classroom" introduces elementary school
children to various kinds of prayer; gives teachers confidence in
what and how they pray with their students; builds confidence in
the adult's ability to lead prayer in the classroom or home; and
offers children the opportunity to foster a prayer life. By
continuing to pray daily, participants begin to see the connection
between prayer and action. As they allow themselves to be open to
the Holy Spirit they develop a personal relationship with God and
with each other.
"Daily Prayer in the Classroom" consists of short prayers for
each day from August through June. Each day begins with an
introduction or background followed by questions for discussion and
a short prayer. Part One includes prayers for each day of the
calendar year including the feasts of saints, prayers for those in
need, and prayers for deepening spirituality. Part Two includes
prayers for the movable feasts, the incarnation and paschal cycles.
A special section of prayers includes blessings of people, places,
and things; traditional prayers; virtue; personal, local, national,
and international needs, and times of illness or death.
