- Week 2: Pray the same prayer each day. Also, read Scripture aloud, then pray together as a family. (Scripture readings are included in the CGS FAMILY Guide). Daily readings can also be found at www.bible.usccb.org
- Week 3: Pray your weekly prayer each day. Also, read Scripture aloud, share your thoughts about what was read, then pray together as a family.
- Week 4: Pray your weekly prayer each day. Also, read Scripture aloud, share your thoughts about what was read. Discuss how you can put what you have read into action, do a family activity, then pray together as a family.
- Week 5: Pray your weekly prayer each day. Also, read Scripture aloud, share your thoughts about what was read. Discuss how you can put what you have read into action, do a family activity, then pray together as a family.
