For Mothers and Children
This collection of verses beautifully reflects the relationship of Mother and child as well and includes verses Rudolf Steiner gave for specific children. It includes verses for every occasion—for parents to recite as the incarnating soul prepares for birth, for the baby after birth, and for children of all ages. Also included are prayers for morning and evening and graces for mealtimes.
Rudolf Steiner, Truth-Wrought Words, Prayers and Sayings for Mothers and Children GA 40.
The First English Edition, published in 1943 (pictured here), contains a subset of all of the verses that are included in GA 40. It is intended to serve as a companion for parents and caregivers to help guide children on their journey to adulthood. The prayers in this volume offer insight into the greater cosmic relationships in which individuals are immersed before birth, during life, and after death.
