Lesson 10

Praying with Scripture

The aim of this lesson is for your children to discover the beautiful ways that Scripture can be an aid to prayer and to begin to develop the habit of praying with the Bible, as well as an appreciation that, when we read Scripture, we are encountering God Himself.

Lesson Vocabulary

  • Inspiration
    :
    The human authors of Scripture were guided by God through the Holy Spirit in their writing. God’s Spirit was present with them when they chose the words to write and how to write them. The Holy Spirit moved within them to write the truth God wanted written for the sake of our salvation. (96)
  • Psalms
    :
    A collection of 150 prayers in Scripture that were sung by the people of Israel in praise of God.
  • Lectio Divina
    :
    Lectio Divina is an ancient form of praying with Scripture that is a slow and thoughtful encounter with the Word of God. It is Latin for “divine reading.”
  • Liturgy of the Hours
    :
    Also called the Divine Office, it is the public prayer of the Church which sanctifies the whole course of the day and night. It consists of a variety of prayers, Scripture readings, most especially the Psalms, and writings of the saints. It is divided into seven “hours” or “offices,” each to be prayed at specific times of the day. Bishops, priests, deacons, and religious are obligated to pray the full sequence of the hours, observing as closely as possible the true time of day. Lay persons are also encouraged to pray the Liturgy of the Hours so that it may be the prayer of the whole People of God.
