Does Prayer improve outcomes?

That is the premise for my learning log.
But, which outcomes and whose prayer?

Are the prayers that improve outcomes ours or the children’s? And what about the prayer, is it
with the students
in Mass
in class
noon meditation or prayers
at assembly,
for the students
staff prayer
our personal prayer life
or by the students?
Stage Mass
Stage reconciliation
Class liturgies
Assembly prayer
Personal prayer

There are almost too many questions to be answered and maybe it is not up to us to have the answers, but I believe we must continue to come back to these questions in our drive for an authentic Christian Catholic identity.

I would like to open up discussion on these big questions as I search for some answers. To this end I have set up another blog for us to share our ideas. Please go to the space and comment or even better find things to post yourself.

Prayer sustains the soul just as food sustains the body and when we share we become a community. I really hope that there is nothing heavy or threatening in any of this, please join in the search for some answers.

Margaret, can prayer improve learning outcomes OR is prayer a learning outcome. Is not the passing on of faith and its rituals something that first must be taught before it can be experienced in its fullness?

Phil, we are opening up a life of faith to the children in our care, and we are definitely teaching these children what is prayer, as well as how to pray.
I see us taking prayer from the knowledge of prayer to the action of prayer and on to the experience of prayer. So, yes it is an outcome that hopefully leads to lifelong experience. I just pray for the children in my care to know 'where their heart can go to find Jesus'. Where they can find peace of mind and soul.

your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any helpful hints for first-time blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.

I'm impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's both equally educative
and entertaining, and without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy I came across
this during my hunt for something relating to this.
