Prayer With Young People DVD

Four short programs introducing grade-school-aged children to the various aspects of prayer in the life of a Christian: Prayer of Praise: Respect and reverence, awe and wonder are our natural responses to our loving and generous God who made and sustains all of creation.

This program encourages children to have an attitude of praise through a story, a praise walk and a guided meditation. Also contains a ""Glory Be Prayer,"" with gestures, a chant, St. Francis of Assisi's ""Song of the Sun"" and the voices of young speaking their own prayers of praise. Prayer Any Time, Any Place, About Anything: Prayer is talking with and listening to God. It is also a meeting with our friend Jesus. Children's prayers are heard asking the questions: ""Where, when, about what do we pray?"" Prayer of Asking: The most common form of prayer is one of petition.

In this program, young people pray for others, for themselves and as Jesus prayed. They are invited to experience a guided imagery, a pebble prayer, a world prayer, Prayers of the Faithful and praying as a group for someone who is sick. Prayer of Quiet: Young people need to discover ways to pay loving attention to the God who dwells within them. This program invites young people to come face to face with God in silence by experiencing the words of Scripture, ""Be still. Know that I am here,"" through a breathing prayer, a word prayer, a centering prayer, a prayer of Mother Teresa and a relaxing body prayer which leads them into guided imagery. DVD
