Prayers

I noticed with some of my students whom I request to lead the opening prayer that most of them are non Catholics. I want the opening prayer to be voluntary among students and spontaneous. They pray well except that they do not make the sign of the cross. And I ask myself, why is it that those who are good with prayers are those who are non Catholics. What is wrong with us Catholics? Maybe it’s just that we Catholics are not that passionate enough to express our faith. It has become more of a challenge for me on how I can present our faith to all in the most beautiful manner. I want to teach everyone that praying is a good thing to do and one must not be ashamed of proclaiming his faith to everyone. Perhaps I could make a change.
