Week A

Stage 1

Daily Prayer

Praying with your FIVE Fingers

Begin with the Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Close your eyes and take 3 deep breaths, breathing in and out three times.

Open the palm of your hands and look at each of your fingers.

  1. Being with your Thumb. This is the nearest to you. Take time to pray for your family and friends.

  2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Take time to pray for your teachers, doctor, and Priest.

  3. The next finger is the tallest finger. Take time to pray for leaders. They are people who care and protect us. Pray for the police, the Prime Minister and other leaders.

  4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Take time to pray for help for those who are sick so they can feel better.

Last is our pinkie finger, the smallest finger of all. Take time now to pray for yourself. Tell God what you need.

Conclude with the sign of the cross

Note: Please use the whole prayer or parts of it to suit your child’s age and needs.
