“I don’t know how to pray at Mass. I keep running out of prayers.”
My 5-year-old daughter has been pushing back anytime I tell her she needs to pray (at Mass, before bed, etc.). I couldn’t understand WHY, since this was the little girl who would previously pray the Rosary by herself using these books. I couldn’t understand this sudden behavior change.
It wasn’t until she told me she was “running out of prayers” that it suddenly clicked: she didn’t realize that prayer wasn’t limited to memorized prayers or our responses at Mass.
Here’s why I love it: There is no better story for teaching your kids how to pray to Jesus as your best friend.
Clare is an ordinary girl who is learning to talk to Jesus throughout her day, sharing her struggles and her triumphs!
Here is what parents are saying:
“I’m using it as part of First Confession/Communion prep for my daughter and she really likes it. It’s a gentle introduction to prayer as a relationship with Jesus, rather than just a formal thing to do at set times with the family.”
“Children will love it. Parents will gain a new understanding that helps them appreciate God’s hidden work in the hearts and minds of our youth. This book might remind you of some of your own prayers when you were young.“
