Children’s Daily Prayer 2023-2024
Kara O''Malley
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 2023 through 2024 includes:
- An order
of prayer for each day and week of the school year from August 20,
2023–June 25, 2024
- 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:
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
install in children the habit of prayer and help form them in the heart of
Christ's Paschal Mystery, the core and centre of all liturgical prayer.
