Eucharistic Prayers for Masses with Children – for Use with the Roman Missal

Description

The Church baptises children and therefore, relying on the gifts conferred by this sacrament, it must be concerned that once baptised they grow in communion with Christ and each other.

The sign and pledge of that communion is participation in the eucharistic table, for which children are being prepared or led to a deeper realisation of its meaning’ (Directory for Masses with Children 8).

The Eucharistic Prayers for Masses with Children, first published in 1975, are given here with emendations for use with the third edition of the Roman Missal.
