Faith at Home

Simple Ways to Pray and Grow in God's Love Each Day

Faith isn’t just something we practise on Sundays — it’s a gentle light that glows in the little moments of our day: at breakfast, in the car, before bedtime. In our homes, around our tables, and in the rhythm of family life, Jesus longs to be close.

This section offers you some simple prayers and quiet helps for sharing God’s love at home — no experience needed. Whether your child is just learning to speak or beginning to ask big questions, you can begin right where you are, together.

Morning Prayer (for little voices)

Good morning, dear Jesus.
Thank you for this new day.
Be with me in my work and play,
And bless all I do and say. Amen.

Grace Before Meals

Thank you, Jesus, for our food,
For family, love, and all things good. Amen.

Bedtime Prayer

Jesus, stay beside my bed,
Keep me safe and rest my head.
Bless my family, near and far,
And shine on us, bright morning star. Amen.

How to Make the Sign of the Cross

A child-friendly guide:

1. Touch your forehead: “In the name of the Father…”
2. Touch your chest: “…and of the Son…”
3. Touch one shoulder, then the other: “…and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”

You could teach this gently at bath time, or before prayer, like tracing a blessing over your child’s forehead.

A One-Decade Rosary

Children often enjoy praying just one decade at a time — especially with their fingers or beads to hold.

You might say:

• “Let’s say one Hail Mary together for someone we love.”
• Choose a simple mystery (e.g. Jesus is born in Bethlehem) and explain it in your own words.
• Then pray:
  Our Father…
  Hail Mary (x10)
  Glory be to the Father…
  “O my Jesus…” (optional)

A downloadable Children’s Rosary Card with a picture and guide will be available soon.
