Teach Classical Students To Pray Classically by Joshua Gibbs

My plea is simple: teach your students to read classically, to write classically, to think classically, and to pray classically. Give your students books worth reading ten times and prayers worth saying ten times. Give your students prayers worth memorizing. Give your students these prayers by praying them at the beginning and end of class every day. Teach your students great prayers, prayers which deepen in meaning and slowly come into focus over the period of a lifetime. If great music is worth practicing, so are great prayers; teach your students prayers worthy of practice, worthy of concentration. Pagans repeat their prayers so the gods will finally hear, but Christians repeat their prayers so they can finally hear themselves.

I love this idea so much! I will definitely incorporate this into my class next year!
