Learning to Pray

Prayer is how we speak to God—and how we learn to listen with our hearts. But for many children, prayer can seem like a big mystery. What words should I say? What do I do with my hands? How do I pray when I’m sad, or tired, or don’t know what to ask?
We created these educational sets to help children and families not just learn about prayer, but practice it. With ropes and beads and even candlewax, you’ll discover that prayer can be quiet, beautiful, simple—and very powerful.
