Praying together as a family is an important way to connect with each other and with God. Often, through prayer, I am able to discover the worries and the joys of my children. This leads to conversations that we may not have had. Family prayer also provides a safe space for my children to develop their relationship with God. Recently, I bought the YOUCAT Youth Prayer Book as a Reconciliation gift. We are using it as a resource to expand their understanding of personal prayer as a relationship with God.

Another great resource to support family prayer is an online resource from Liturgy Brisbane. Each week is focused on the Gospel reading for that week with support for family discussions and activities around the message from the Gospel reading.
