Step 1: Pray
-
Praying with your kids can be a bit awkward. Seeing their parents pray is a great way for them to understand the importance of prayer. Before you move to the video, pray together with a simple prayer, like:
Have you heard of Carlo Acutis? As a very young saint of modern times, St. Carlo is very popular with children and young people. He died when he was only 15, yet his holiness has inspired countless people. It’s so exciting to share his story with children!In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Lord Jesus, I love You and thank You for this Advent season. Please help me to understand all that You have done for me. Help me to make room in my heart for You.
My loving Jesus, I choose You as my King and my God. Draw me close to You.
Come, Lord Jesus, come! I love You.
Amen!In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
