"Nothing disposes us better to receive the Holy Spirit than prayer. This is why Jesus Christ assures us that our heavenly Father will give his Spirit, full of love and goodness for us, to all those who ask him." - Saint John Baptist de La Salle Welcome to The Catholic Youth Prayer Book (CYPB). The CYPB introduces you to the wide and rich scope of the Catholic prayer tradition. Catholic prayer is relevant, ancient, universal, personal, and liturgical. Our hope is that through the CYPB (presented in the four parts below), you will develop a deeper understanding of prayer and a greater desire to be in conversation with God. Part I: Prayers for Today's Teenagers Part II: Prayers from the Catholic Tradition Part III: Methods for Personal Prayer Part IV: Liturgical Prayer (including a four-week psalter) The Catholic Youth Prayer Book is a great gift idea for any young person, especially for graduation, confirmation, or a birthday!
