DAY 1 – WHAT’S IN THE WORD?
We begin this form time prayer with the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Welcome back to the new school year. Our Word of the Week is WELCOME. We welcome many people into our lives and communities all the time and, over the next few days, we are going to be welcoming new people and each other back to school for the start of a new school year. In the video below, Luke and Clare talk about the word WELCOME and our scripture for this week also.
In the video, Luke and Clare talk about our scripture for this week.
‘Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.’
Romans 15:7
Together we must welcome one another like Jesus welcomed us, whoever we are. In your forms, talk about some of the ways that you feel welcome? Has there been a certain time when you have felt welcomed into a community? How can you welcome others into the All Saints’ community in the days and weeks ahead?
As form time prayer comes to an end, we give for thanks to God for all our joyful moments that happened over the holidays. With all these things in our mind, we pray together…
Our Father who art in heaven,
Amen
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.
We end this form time prayer with the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
DAY 2 – GOD’S MESSAGE FOR US
We begin this form time prayer with the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Our scripture today comes from one of St Paul’s letters. St Paul travelled around giving advice to so many communities, reminding them of the many ways that God calls us to live and one way we can do this is through our quality of welcome.
A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Romans.
‘Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.’
Romans 15:7
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God
Today, we try to respond to the scripture message by thinking of those who need our thoughts and prayers on the theme of ‘welcome’.
As a form, talk about people in the world who might be on the margins of society; those who are left out for any reason. How can we extend this quality of welcome to these people or groups, in particular?
Perhaps, in our forms, we could make our form boards more welcoming this week by adding words of welcome in a range of languages? Here’s one example of the ways we say ‘welcome’ around the world: https://youtu.be/uyy8UdgnLQo
Take a moment to pray together that all in the world are welcomed in the way that God calls us to.
Lord, help everyone in the world to welcome others with your kindness, compassion and love. May no one ever feel isolated or alone and may your welcoming love fill the hearts of all. Amen.
Remember to create and decorate your form boards with the word ‘welcome’. This could be a quick post-it note now, or you might make one at home and bring it in tomorrow.
We end this form time prayer with the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
DAY 3 – A Special Gift for your Form Boards
Today, you should have received a special gift to be kept on your form board and used each week. This is called the Ordo. It’s a diary of the Liturgical (Church) Calendar, starting from Advent, which guides us, as a school, parish and Church, to pray for and focus on the themes that unite us as one whole community, welcomed by God.
Today’s task is to find the 22nd Week of Ordinary Time and leave the Ordo open on your form boards.
Each week, you’ll be able to see the special feast days, holy days of obligation, saints’ days and the colour for each day and season.
We will be using the Ordo regularly, so find a place to hang it up and display it, on your form boards, but make sure it’s easy to pick up and put back too, please.
In the Ordo, at the top of this week’s page, you’ll see that the ‘Season of Ordinary Time’ for Autumn has a special Cycle of Prayer from September. Let’s go still now and pray for all those listed in this term’s prayer cycle:
We begin this celebration of the word with the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Lord, as we welcome this new term and one another, as one All Saints’ community, help us to:
welcome all students and teachers,
to spread the Gospel,
to share in the harvest,
to celebrate the fruits of human work and be reverent over all creation,
to promote and be agents of justice and peace in the world,
to welcome and celebrate all young people,
and to pray for all who are imprisoned and their families.
Help us also to be the best that we can be, in all of these ways.
Lord, in your mercy…Hear our prayer.
We ask our mother Mary to pray with us, as we say…
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
Amen
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
We end this form time prayer with the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
