2. prayer For all Catholics, praying is very important.
Prayer makes our relationship with God stronger.
Prayer has the power to changes you and the world in which you live.

3. What is prayer
Praying is more than giving God a list of stuff you want him to do for you.
Pray has more to do with spending time enjoying God's company, a bit like you would do with your best friend.
Pray is asking questions, talking about your family and friends, wondering about the future, saying sorry, saying thank-you, listening to what God have to say, not worrying about silence, just glad to be with him.

4. Pray can be personal
Jesus told his followers to shut themselves in their room and pray in secret, because God hears and answers in secret!
In other words, Christians can pray at any time and anywhere that gives them space on their own. A lot of people find a quiet room in their home.

5. Prayer can be Public
When Christians meet together, they often make time to pray.
This is because Jesus said that when Christians agree to pray together about something, God hears and answers.

6. In the name of the Father
The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father
and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

7. The Sign of the Cross
Among the most universal and public of all Catholic prayers is the Sign of the Cross. Walk into a Catholic church anywhere in the world, and you will see all who enter signing themselves; sit down for a meal in a Catholic home, and the prayer before eating - begins and ends with the Sign of the Cross.

13. The Hail Mary
A Catholic prayer in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It consists of three parts:
Part 1: “Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women,” reminds us of angel Gabriel when he came to visit Mary (Luke 1: 28).
Part 2: “and blessed is the fruit of they womb, Jesus” these are words os the inspired greeting of Elizabeth to Mary (Luke 1: 42).
Part 3: “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.” is a petition.

15. The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father

16. Our father
In his best known prayer "The Lord's Prayer" Jesus taught Christians to call God "Our Father in heaven".
(The Bible, Matthew chapter 6 verses )
Like a loving father, God listens to our prayers and always gives his best.
Sometimes, this may not always be exactly what we want - sometimes a loving parent even has to use the word no!

17. Let's look at The Lord's Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
And the power and the glory
For ever and ever
Amen
Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
And the power and the glory
For ever and ever
Amen
Our Father in heaven
Help us to respect your name
Be our king!
Have your way on earth
Like you do in heaven
Give us today the things we need
Forgive us for the things we do wrong
As we forgive people who have hurt us
Help us not to do wrong things
And protect us from harm
For everything is yours
-all the power and glory in the world
Now and for always
I really mean this prayer.

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
