This 8 1/2 x 11 laminated prayer card is intended for youngsters in pre-kindergarten through second grade to help them understand Pope Francis' prayer approach. Each finger on their hand signifies a person to pray for, ranging from family and friends to international leaders and the sick. This innovative style of prayer has been around for a long time and is sometimes attributed, particularly now, to Pope Francis when he was Archbishop of Argentina. Perhaps it existed before Pope Francis. In any case, it is a powerful technique of praying—and teaching our children to pray—that the Holy Father has often used in his ministry. This prayer card is ideal as a send-off present for vacation bible school, a start-of-year gift, or a gift for First Reconciliation or First Communion.
