Religion Teacher (and moms): Great resource for reflection journals and prayer

Here is a list of my favorite Youtube offerings for middle school and high school. They are great for setting up moments for reflection-journal writing or simply for prayerful moments. Liturgists, in general, these are NOT for liturgy. They are for informal moments of student/class prayer and reflection only. That said, they are really awesome clips, videos, novenas and skits. (Please let me know if any site becomes corrupt.)
