How can Jesus hear all our prayers?

At, the bible camp at my church: Day 2 I was asked a mysterious question. I had just finished telling all the kids to pray ( in adoration) and to worship God. And one girl started to speak and I told her to ask me after adoration.

 The question was: 

" How can God hear all our prayers at the same time?" 

 Had to stop and think about this. It caught me off guard. I never heard someone ask a question like this. But, I wasn't surprised. With my years working with young children  I know they are very mysterious and questionable about our Faith. I know I was. I remember going to Grade 3 wondering how God was made.

Anyways back to the question. My answer for it was first, " Well God cares for everyone, and he loves everyone and listens to everyone." I continued, " Does your Mommy and Daddy listen to you? Yes? Well think of that like God listening to you. Because we are one big Family, and God makes time for all of us." Then I did an example. I talked to her and I talked to another girl at the same time. And we both had a conversation. Then the girl that asked the question understood it.


I've been trying to focus and concentrate on how important prayer is with the kids. Yes, the theme is on the Mass. But the Mass is one big prayer. We start with the sign of the cross and we end with the sign of the cross. I try to tell them, that God is there best friend and that they can tell God anything. Anything. God is always there and he listens to us all when ever we need to talk.




God loves us all, and he cares for us. He would not let us astray. We are all called to live the life Jesus wants us to. Our prayers will not be forgotten. And Our life is in Good hands. The hands of Jesus.

Bible Camp.

This week, at my parish is a Cat.Chat bible Camp. It's one week. And it runs from 9:30-3:30. It should be a lot of fun.

Now, I will be one of the leaders in charge of one the stations. (Faith station)  So whats on my plate? Well 16 kids, that range from ages 6-12. Yikes! What a range of kids! majority of kids are in grade 2. (have I mentioned yet, that i'm not teaching kindergarten at Catechism.... I've been upgraded to Grade 2 :) I'm looking forward to it )   Anyways, Each day we have a new theme, and virtue. And it says that we  ( as leaders) should also try to follow these. So this camp won't just be learning for the kids, but a good teaching for me.


 Tomorrow, starts the first day of the camp! And I'm taking them on a tour of the church. I'm excited. This camp is about the mystery about the mass. It is very unique. But, this tour includes the four parts of the church: Nave, Narthex, Sacristy and Sanctuary. It should go well. I didn't like the one that their book gave me so I decided to make my own.It did say change to what works for you... So I did....


This camp, will be FUN, and exciting and a learning experience. Not just for the kids, but for me to. You always learn a lot more, when you teach. I am looking forward to what, I will learn more about this mystery.


I will be taking them on tours, and taking them for adoration and asking them for more and more questions. With games and SAINTS to be played and taught about. There is a saints for everyday. And ironically enough, St.Michael was one of them: and yes it will be hard for me not to go into detail with such young kids.... Stick to the book.... Just stick to the book.


Well I will take this time now to say sorry if I don't post many post from now to august 1. I will be busy with this, and packing because I am going on vacation my self. But don't worry A Chapter explained the Four gospels will go on!


Happy blogging :)
