2nd graders should know the following prayers:

Sign of the Cross
(using right hand)
In the name of the Father, (touch forehead)
and the Son, (touch chest)
and the Holy (touch left shoulder) Spirit (touch right shoulder). Amen.

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Hail Mary
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you;
blessed are you among women,
blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Grace Before Meals (Meal Prayer)
Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts,
which we are about to receive from your bounty,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Glory Prayer
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

O Sacrament
(We say this when we genuflect (kneel) at the end of our school masses.)
O Sacrament most holy,
O Sacrament devine,
all praise and all thanksgiving
be every moment thine.
