Description

This book of prayers and meditations was specially designed for families to pray together. Kid-friendly pieces of art, both classical and modern, provide a focal point for the youngest children and an aid to meditation for older kids. Words of wisdom from saints and masters of prayer are scattered throughout the book, offering readers encouragement and guidance for deepening their prayer life. And most of the more than seventy prayers and meditations are accompanied by a brief commentary providing historical or theological context.The selection of prayers goes beyond the basics, including some of the most beautiful but lesser known examples from throughout the ages. In addition, The Catholic Family Book of Prayers provides parents with a way to lead kids beyond memorized vocal prayer, introducing them to methods of Christian meditation, contemplation, blessing, examination, and more.
