As Catholics, we recognize that prayer is of the utmost importance, an invaluable contribution to serving people around the world. It guides our actions, it binds us in solidarity to one another and connects us more deeply with the grace that flows from God.
We invite you to explore these resources. Please include them in your ministries, classrooms and catechism classes. Share them with your parishes or prayer groups.
