Growing in Prayer

The young people will reflect on their responses to God's invitation to spiritual growth.

The young people should be able to define personal prayer.

• Engage the young people in a discussion about ways people their age pray. Write their ideas on the board.
• Form groups of three or four young people.
• Ask the groups to discuss what they like most about prayer and what they find easiest. Then ask them to discuss what they find most difficult about prayer.
• Invite one person from each group to share aloud the answers of his or her group.
• After each group has shared, have the entire group brainstorm ways they might address some of their issues about what they find most difficult about prayer.
