“Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God’s gift of Himself.” – St. Teresa of Calcutta
Children can partake in the beautiful traditional act of “lighting a candle” during their prayer time with our beautiful wooden prayer candles. The light of the candle is a symbol of our prayer, offered to God in faith. This simple and beautiful act, invites children to pause and direct their attention towards the Lord. Like adults, the physical act of lighting a candle reminds them that their prayers are real and are heard by God. Our Montessori-inspired candles allow for hands on interaction, cultivate imagination and require no dangerous electricity or batteries.
The Memorare is one of the most beloved traditional Catholic Marian prayers. It was popularized in the 17th century by Fr. Claude Bernard. Fr. Bernard credited the prayer with his miraculous healing, and was so grateful he shared the prayer with hundreds of thousands of others. Throughout the centuries, it has been a favorite prayer of many Saints, including St. Francis de Sales and St. Teresa of Calcutta.
