As we raise our children in the Catholic faith, it is important to teach them the power of prayer. Prayer is our direct line of communication with God, and it is through prayer that we can seek guidance, express gratitude, and find solace in times of difficulty. Today, I want to share with you nine simple prayers for Catholic kids along with a free printable that you can use to incorporate prayer into your daily routine.
