Prayer and Spirituality

"The ministry of prayer and worship celebrates and deepens young people's relationship with Jesus Christ through the bestowal of grace, communal prayer and liturgical experiences; it awakens their awareness of the spirit at work in their lives; it incorporates young people more fully into the sacramental life of the Church, especially eucharist; it nurtures the personal prayer life of young people; and it fosters family rituals and prayer."
—Renewing the Vision, p. 44

"Pray without ceasing; give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
—1 Thessalonians 5:17-18

Praying is a part of Catholic daily life. Scripture and Tradition tells us that prayer is a response to God's invitation to be in relationship with him. Through faith-based programs coordinated by the National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire, young people are encourages to grow in their relationship with God, deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith, and engage in regular liturgical prayer and practice.
