By teaching young people to pray, you can open for them a way to communicate on a deeply personal level with God, who is the source of all holiness. By inviting them to explore different forms of personal prayer, you will encourage them to expand their image of God and their expectations of prayer. By challenging them to look at communal prayer, you will remind them that their role in building God's Reign and as a part of the Body of Christ is important, unique, and valued. This manual can help you give young people the tools to pray all ways, and always, and enable them to build their relationship with God on a solid foundation.

Above all, the course is an invitation to young people to build God's Reign by loving themselves and others as God loves them. In other words, it is an invitation to become holy, healthy, and happy.

Catechetical Sessions on Liturgy and the Sacraments begins by familiarizing participants with the nature of liturgy and the liturgical year. An introduction to the properties of signs, symbols, and rituals sets the groundwork for studying individual Sacraments. Four sessions address the Sacraments of initiation, two sessions cover the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, and the final session covers the Sacraments at the service of Communion. The sessions share some of the history of the Sacraments, their meaning, the significance of symbols, and the nature of the rites. The participants are invited to actively study the Sacraments, to make connections between the Sacraments and their own lives, to reflect prayerfully on the meaning of the Sacraments, and to take some Sacrament-related actions.
