Here is a brief review of a number of outstanding online resources on
prayer.
Catholic Prayersis,
to my knowledge, the largest library of Catholic prayers on the net.
If you are looking for a prayer for a specific occasion this is the
site to investigate. The organiztion of prayers under subject titles
makes it easy to find what you need.
Fr. Victor Hoagland, C.P. guides us in daily
morning and evening prayers.I also recommend his other pages on
prayer: Companion
in Illness; Little
Children Pray (prayers and simple catechesis on prayer for children
from about the ages of 3 to about 6); Meditations
and Prayers for Lent and Easter; ; Prayer
in Particular Circumstances.
Father Hoagland also has other projects in the works. On one
of his pageshe writes: "In the future, look for interactive material
here. Putting together a place of dialogue for those who teach children
about the Passion of Jesus is a special interest of mine."

The Twelve Voices of
Easter contains a fascinating reflection on the meaning of the Easter
story from the perspective of twelve "charaters" who were directly involved.
The dramatic narratives are available in text format with links to the
relevant scripture passages and in realaudio.
Rev. Roger J. Smith, pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in
the Archdiocese of Seattle has also produced a noteworthy web site called
Art
as a source of Christian Meditation. Catechists and Religious Education
teachers who are interested in using fine art to help their students
meditate (or art teachers who are interested in helping their students
pray through art!) will appreciate Father Smith's commentary on a number
of masterpieces by great artists.
Pray the News
- Part of the web site of the Carmelites of Indianapolis. Presents a
weekly press clipping of a current event and offers six short reflections
by Carmelite sisters each giving a different prayerful perspective on
the issue.
Resources for Catholic Educators also has a large number of links
on Prayer.
