Children’s Daily Prayer 2024-2025
Jonathan F Sullivan
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 guide children in a daily service of communal prayer,
following the pattern of the Church’s Morning Prayer.
The heart of this annual resource is a simple order of prayer for each
day and week that can be easily led by a child. 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 18, 2024, to June 27, 2025
- Prayer services, suitable
for classroom and 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
- Send-home pages connecting
children’s classroom and home lives
- Instructions for parents on
using the book with their children at home, and how to set up a prayer
space.
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
instil 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.
