Mary shared this positive response to one of her classes on prayer:

I taught the story of prayer using the fingers to remember who to pray for to 7 and 8 year olds. The amazing thing that happened was when they were drawing their hands on a sheet of paper and I had them fill in the fingers with the names of who to pray for. Like the thumb is for family it being closest to the heart etc. When one little girl finished hers and in the palm of her hand had a heart with God written inside.
