In this Diving Deeper we want to provide an opportunity for you and your child pray together through song. The video will direct you when to sing along.
We will also give you step by step tips on how to proceed.
You will also have a chance to complete The sign of the cross activity sheet and upload to the submission link.
Step 1: Find a quiet space away from distractions. Try not praying in an area where your child usually plays.
Step 2: Tell your child how you will be praying together. You can tell them that prayer is a special way we can talk to God and say thank you for all the good things we have. This time for prayer you will be singing along with the video.
Step 3: Start by doing the sign of the cross. Below is a video if help is needed.
Step 4: Play the Video God is Love" | 1 John 4:8
Step 5: End the Prayer by saying the Our Father prayer.
The prayer can be found in the Children's missal on the last page(313). The title on the Page is called Traditional prayers. Our Father is the first prayer on that page titled "The Lord's Prayer"
Here is a video that can help you pray the Our Father prayer as well.
