Throughout the history of the Church, Christians have consecrated time by pausing at various moments throughout the day to pray the Liturgy of the Hours (Guide for Celebrating Liturgy of the Hours). Children’s Daily Prayer is a form of the Liturgy of the Hours adapted for children. It helps guide children in a daily service of communal prayer, following the pattern of the Church’s Morning Prayer.
The heart of this annual resource is a simple order of prayer for each day and week that can be easily led by a child. Designed to fit seamlessly into your day, the entire prayer service takes no more than five to eight minutes. Daily Scripture texts have been carefully selected to help children “walk through the Bible” and become familiar with the great stories and themes of salvation history.
Children’s Daily Prayer 2025 through 2026 includes:
Instructions for parents on using the book with their children at home, and how to set up a prayer space.
Pronunciation guides have been added in the Opening sections and within the Scripture passages to accommodate young readers who will be leading prayer. Teachers, catechists, and parents can use Children's Daily Prayer to instill in children the habit of prayer and help form them in the heart of Christ's paschal mystery, the core and center of all liturgical prayer.
"My school uses Children's Daily Prayer each day. We use the book as part of our morning convocation for grades K through 8. Each week, a class from grades 4 through 8 is assigned to read the daily readings, and for this they use the book to prepare and to use with religion lessons. The readings are easy to understand, and they help us draw closer to God."
—Ms. Karen Cavaness, Principal St. Joseph School East Orange, NJ
"I have used Children’s Daily Prayer in various ways, including using the silent reflection question for daily reflection writing, and during Advent and Lent, for school projects. The Sunday Gospels are helpful for teaching and sharing our faith with children. It is an invaluable resource for Catholic educators."
—Joseph Murillo, Fifth Grade Teacher St. Philip Neri Catholic School Lynwood, CA
"Children’s Daily Prayer provides our family with a template to prioritize prayer and religious discussion. During the challenging times of 2020, our children became motivated every morning to read Children’s Daily Prayer. It has helped our family grow together in our faith."
—David Wischmeyer Franklin Park, IL Father of Ashlyn, 11, and Landon, 9
