This booklet is a Christmas gift to our children and their children. It is a passing along of the faith that we share, short reflections on each prayer, and the prayers that have influenced Christians throughout the ages. The prayers, of course, are not original work at all. The prayers are themselves reflections upon struggles with God during difficult times, the product of profound thought, and even the Gospel by such wonderful teachers as Saint Francis of Assisi, Reinhold Niebuhr, and Jesus of Nazareth.
