When I was first married, and I had something important to discuss with my husband I learned there were certain times that were better than others to do it. If I missed that time, I knew he likely would not be hearing most or all of what I wanted him to know. I'm sure some of you can related to what I am saying. But God doesn't work that way. When I am ready to talk so is He---any time night or day. It's amazing when you think about it. But sad to say most of the time I just take it for granted. I simply have the faith that He is always there. That is something that our children need to know and rely on---God is always there. No matter what we have done or what the circumstances He is always there ready to listen and give peace in the moment. It is something that our children when taught can use throughout their lives. That's why it's important for them to see us pray at different moments and pray as a family.
I found in my travels a really nice inexpensive book of catholic prayers for children. The book GOD is Listening to Me, goes through all the basic prayer we say
but also talks about the Mass, the saints and the rosary. It's the kind of book that could be brought to church for reference. I know Walmart online carries it for a very reasonable price of $4.29. So, if you are looking for something to help support learning the prayers and understanding mass this would be a great tool.
