¡Hola, amiguitos y amiguitas! Today, we're going to explore the Hail Mary, or as we say in Spanish, Ave María. Are you ready?

The Hail Mary is a prayer that we say to express our love and devotion for the Virgin Mary. Now, let's learn how to say it in Spanish.

A Juan Diego Network podcast

This episode of Spanish Prayers for Young Believers focuses on the Our Father prayer, known in Spanish as "Padre Nuestro". Luis Diego explains that Jesus taught this prayer to his disciples during the Sermon on the Mount, and it can be found in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 6. The prayer is considered a template for how to pray to God and consists of seven petitions, which are said to contain everything one could desire.

The first three petitions are said to draw people toward the glory of God and give him praise, while the last four petitions ask for his help. Millions of people worldwide say the prayer every day, and it has been a significant part of Christian tradition since Jesus first taught it.

Have you ever been curious about teaching your kids how to pray in Spanish?  

Maybe you're a Spanish speaker yourself and are looking for ways to share the beautiful treasure of our faith to a younger generation, in Spanish.  

Or maybe you’re looking for resources to help you keep your children engaged with the faith. Or maybe you’re just trying to learn Spanish! 

Whatever the case, ‘Spanish prayers for young believers’ is definitely for you! 

See, I believe that transmitting the faith to kids, should compel us to open our children’s horizons and curiosity to knowing God. And learning a new language is definitely a way in which this can happen.
