Paperback | 8 3/8 x 10 7/8 | 368 pages | Language: English

Throughout the history of the Church, Christians have consecrated time by pausing at various moments throughout the day to pray the Liturgy of the Hours (Guide for Celebrating Liturgy of the Hours). Children's Daily Prayer is a form of the Liturgy of the Hours, adapted for children. It helps to guide children in a daily service of communal prayer that follows the pattern of the Church's Morning Prayer.

The heart of this annual resource is a simple order of prayer for each day or week that can be easily led by a student. Designed to fit seamlessly into your day, the entire prayer service takes no more than five to eight minutes. Daily Scripture texts have been carefully selected to help children walk through the Bible and become familiar with the great stories and themes of Salvation History.

Children's Daily Prayer 2024 through 2025 includes:

• An order of prayer for each day and week of the school year from August, 2024 June, 2025
• Prayer services, suitable for classroom or large gatherings, for solemnities, feasts, and other special occasions
• An About the Season section explaining each liturgical time, its character, and how to create conducive prayer environments for it
• Send home pages connecting children's classroom and home lives 

New this year: Instructions for parents on using the book with their children at home, and how to set up a prayer space.

More pronunciation guides have been added in the Opening sections and within the Scripture passages to accommodate young readers who will be leading prayer. Teachers, catechists, and parents can use Children's Daily Prayer to instill in children the habit of prayer and help form them in the heart of Christ's Paschal Mystery, the core and center of all liturgical prayer.

Focus on Scripture each day of the year with Daily Prayer. This easy-to-use resource for group and individual prayer centers on a scripture reading each day, along with a reflection, a psalm, intercessions, and closing prayer. The book provides an introduction to Catholic prayer for those involved in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and an easy-to-use format for Catholics of all ages. It draws on the long tradition of lectio divina, providing a simple order of prayer for each day of the liturgical year.

As the perfect gift for parish volunteers, teachers, and catechists, it will aid each person in the parish to foster a practice of prayer, and can be used to begin or end parish meetings.

This calendar presents the cheerful, colorful art of Catherine Pape. Her illustrations of blessings in Catholic family and community life focus on some of the many blessing practices rooted in tradition and lovingly passed on through generations: the blessing of a home and of an advent wreath, of food at a soup kitchen or at a family table, of children by parents as they depart for the day, and of crops, animals, and farm equipment. All of these scenes depict little celebrations of the ways we are blessed and protected by God. Such blessings keep us mindful of God's love and guidance, and they model for our children one way that Catholics try to stay open and aware of God's presence in our ordinary lives.

The Year of Grace liturgical year follows the Sunday Year A, B, or C cycles and the Weekday Year cycles.



LTP's circular display of the liturgical year makes its key features easily understandable. We can see at a glance the liturgical seasons in their characteristic colors, Sundays on the outer rim, and the days and weeks radiating from the center.

Use as handouts for children and adults in classrooms or in catechetical or formation sessions to teach about the liturgical year
Give (or sell) laminated copies to households in the parish and school to use as placemats.
Along with the poster calendar, post one in every classroom, meeting room, and in the church vestibule to teach about the liturgical year.
Present to first communicants and Confirmation candidates in preparation sessions.
