Sunday, January 25: Prayer

An oversight in our class itinerary left an unassigned topic for January 25th's class topic. So, I'm choosing the chapter (Chapter 40) on Prayer from the St. Mary's Press Catholic Connections Handbook conveniently online at Google Books.

While our office doesn't have the teacher's materials for this topic, thanks to Google, we have them here.

Prepping the St. Mary's Press Jeopardy-style game is a bit of bear. All the page references are incorrect, and some of the questions are missing in the book. Without the time-expensive correction to the game board, the kids become disappointed with the game — and rightfully so. Without correction, this is like a shell-game, rather than a learning game.

Three questions while waiting:

1. Identify all the places where you can pray to God
2. Identify all the times when you can pray to God
3. Identify all the ways you can pray to God

It may be advanced, but I like this Fr Dubay video on St. Teresa of Ávila and "interior castles"
