 Children’s Daily Prayer is a lovely, step-by-step method for praying every day of the school year. At its heart is a simple order of prayer easily led by a student.

This great catechetical tool features:

• an opening that explains the readings, describes its background, defines difficult vocabulary, and highlights feasts of the day
• a psalm with responses that may be photocopied

• additional psalms and canticles
• and a new feature called "Also on this Day" indicates secular holidays and major observances of other religions

These features help you deepen and enrich classroom prayer. There is also a teacher’s introduction that offers insights into how children pray and how to pray with them. Seasonal introductions explain the liturgical seasons and suggest how to create conducive environments for the season’s prayer.

2008 Year of Grace Poster Calendar
art by Suzanne Duranceau

In honor of the 49th annual International Eucharistic Congress, The Year of Grace 2008 calendar focuses on "The Eucharist: Gift for the Life of World." This beautifully illuminated calendar will engage your senses and focus your mind on the profound grace that Christ brings to us in both the liturgy and normal, everyday life.

This year’s calendar combines images to display the centrality of Christ in the Church’s life. In the center you will encounter the resurrected Christ standing with palms facing us in a gesture of welcome. In the upper corners of the calendar, you will find images of the Mass depicting the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Finally, in the lower two corners you will see pictures of how we bring Christ’s presence in the world through both ordinary activities and acts of service to others.

Our circle-of-the-year Catholic liturgical calendar begins with the First Sunday of Advent. The Sundays of the year form the outer circle, and each spoke of the wheel represents a week. The seasons are defined by colors. Weekdays of seasons, solemnities, feasts, fast days and memorials of the saints are noted in place. On the back of each calendar, you will find a guide to the calendar, ideas for use, general information about the liturgical year, and information about the art and artist. The calendar is a great resource for religious education and RCIA and may be used with children and adults.
