What is Prayer?
Prayer is a conversation with God. It is important for us to really think about what we are saying and what we really mean when we pray.
Remember...PACT Sometimes we PRAISE God when we pray. Sometimes we may ASK God for something. Sometimes we say we are sorry...Contrition Sometimes we give THANKS for what God has given. Then we need to LISTEN to God, because sometimes God may ask US to 'do something' as part of the answer to our prayer. (note: the optional video link is for the parents). |

Act of Contrition
My God,
I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong
and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you
whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help,
to do penance,
to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ
suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.
