6 My Weekly Prayer Companion is a beautiful book that will accompany you throughout the year to help you pray. It will lead you to set aside time to receive God’s love, to praise him, and to ask him to help you to love like he does. In this book you’ll find prayers for every week, as well as prayers for some special feast days throughout the Church year. Take time to look at the calendar on page 178, and you’ll see how very many opportunities there are! Jesus wants us to make room for him in our hearts by preparing to receive him. We can do this by being faithful to an appointment to meet with our Lord God every day: the appointment of prayer. The Appointment of Prayer It is important to pray every day. My Weekly Prayer Companion will help you set a more important time of prayer once a week, or even several times a week. Sunday would be a good day to use your Prayer Companion because it is the day of the Resurrection, but maybe it is not the most convenient for you—or you simply prefer another day of the week. It is up to you. At each prayer time, you will find a Bible passage to read and to understand more deeply, as well as heartfelt prayers of intercession for yourself, your loved ones, and people around the world. You will also pray the Our Father and the Hail Mary from your heart, every day. All with the accompaniment of this faithful prayer book. You can pray with those around you: your parents, your brothers and sisters, your grandparents... or with your classmates or your parish catechism group. Or you can pray by yourself.With others or alone, your companion will be right here to help you! The whole year with God!
