Asà como nuestros padres y abuelos tienen sus libros de oraciones que pasaron de generación en generación, este libro pretende ser el libro de oraciones en español de la generación más joven de la iglesia.
Oración Común para Niños y Familias es una colección de oraciones y liturgias escritas para niños y para los adultos o comunidades que oran con ellos. Imaginativamente ilustrado a plumilla, este libro contiene oraciones para la mañana, el mediodÃa y la noche; oraciones para usar a través del año en la Iglesia y oraciones para todo tipo de ocasiones. En el centro de este libro está la creencia de que la oración forma nuestras vidas, por lo que debe ser accesible y significativa para los niños y niñas. Las oraciones en este libro son llamadas "comunes" por diversas razones. Como el Libro de Oración Común, este busca proveer lenguaje, forma y teologÃa que reúne a los episcopales en la oración compartida. Además, las oraciones reflejan temas familiares para los niños como el hogar, la escuela y el campamento. Pero más que todo, estas oraciones son dichas en comunidad -siempre como parte de la comunidad santa de Dios que incluye a la familia y los amigos, los vivos y los fallecidos, los santos y los pecadores, los ángeles, arcángeles y la compañÃa de los cielos.
Common Prayer for Children and Families is a collection of prayers and liturgies written for kids and the adults or communities who pray with them.
Whimsically illustrated with pen and ink, this book contains prayers for morning, midday, and evening; prayers throughout the Church year; and prayers for all sorts of occasions. At the heart of this book is the belief that prayer shapes our lives and should be accessible and meaningful for children. The prayers in this book are called "common" for a variety of reasons; like the Book of Common Prayer, it seeks to provide a language, form, and theology that binds Episcopalians in shared prayer. In addition, prayers reflect themes with which children are commonly familiar, like home, school, and camps. Most of all, these prayers are held in common-always done within God's holy community that includes family and friends, the living and the dead, saints and sinners, angels, archangels, and the company of heaven.
