Call on Me: A Prayer Book for Young People
This first exclusively Episcopal prayer book for young people offers over 100 original prayers rooted in Episcopal theology and language for events in the daily lives of teens. Divided into three parts--Common Prayer, Kinds of Prayer, and Personal Prayer--topics include daily devotion, prayers of the people, faith, praying through the day, week and year, self, milestones, friends and family, school and work, and community. Youth will find prayers to celebrate personal achievements and address personal and world concerns, including thanksgiving for a driver's license and graduating, when a friend needs help, blessing of a relationship, and applying for a job and more. Youth leaders will find this to be an essential resource for camp, retreats and other youth gatherings.
Common English Bible (CEB) with the Apocrypha
The Common English Bible is not simply a revision or update of an existing translation. It is a bold new translation designed to meet the needs of Christians as they work to build a strong and meaningful relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
A key goal of the CEB translation team is to make the Bible accessible to a broad range of people; it’s written at a comfortable level for over half of all English readers. Easy readability can enhance church worship and participation, and personal Bible study. It also encourages children and youth to discover the Bible for themselves, perhaps for the very first time.
The examen is a Jesuit resource, and I am convinced we need to help youth reflect on their lives, so this is one way that is good for all Christians:
You can find the examen here.
