DAY 2 – 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
This week we are focusing on the word MERCY. Currently, all of our diocese are taking part in Prayers for Pope Francis. Skip to the time 10:12 in the video below to watch Bishop Patrick’s reflection on Pope Francis. Stop the video when Bishop Patrick has finished speaking.
This week, we are in EASTERTIDE, which means our liturgical colour is what? Tick the correct colour on your sheet.
The Word of the Week this week is MERCY. Make sure this is written on the sheet and your form is written in the form box.
As form time prayer comes to an end, we give for thanks for the life of pope Francis…
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 3 – 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
This week we are going to explore Scripture from the first letter of John. The letters are traditionally believed to be written to John the Apostle, also believed to be the author of the Gospel of John. The letter repeatedly tells us that “God is love,” and calls Christians to reflect that love in action, rejecting sin and embracing the life of God made possible through Jesus.
“And God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world, so that we might have life through him. This is what love is: it is not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.
Dear friends, if this is how God loved us, then we should love one another. No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in union with us, and his love is made perfect in us.’’
1 John 4:9-12
Answer the following questions in pairs or as a form:
In the video, it says that we should show mercy to others because Jesus showed us mercy. When someone wrongs you, how do you usually respond? What would a merciful response look like instead?
Why do you think mercy is so powerful in creating peace and healing in the world?
Make sure you put the scripture reference (1 John 4:9-12) in the scripture box on your sheet.
Write your form’s thoughts about the above in the message box.
As form time prayer comes to an end, we pray for a deeper understanding of the teachings of the Bible. With all these things in our mind, we pray together, with Our Lady of Lourdes…
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
DAY 4 – OUR RESPONSE TO GOD’S MESSAGE
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
This half-term, we are focusing on more reflective types of prayer. Below is a prayer called Visio Divina. Before we look at that, let’s revisit the scripture from yesterday that we are taking with us throughout the week.
“And God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world, so that we might have life through him. This is what love is: it is not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.
Dear friends, if this is how God loved us, then we should love one another. No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in union with us, and his love is made perfect in us.’’
1 John 4:9-12
Step 1: Look (1–2 minutes – Silently observe the image without judgement or analysis. What do you see in this image? What stands out to you right away?
Step 2: Reflect (2 minutes – Reflect on the image with a partner. What is Jesus offering in this image? What might the red and white rays symbolize to you personally?
Step 3: Pray (2 minutes – Silently pray in your own words, either silently or by writing a short prayer down.
In the ‘response’ section on your sheet, write some of your forms thoughts on the image.
Thinking about the mercy Jesus shows us, let us now all pray….
Loving and Generous God,
Amen
Open our hearts to see those who are struggling,
And give us the courage to share with them in love.
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 5 – THE CELEBRATION
Using everything we have added to our sheet this week, we are now going to take part in our Celebration of the Word, altogether, to end this week. Before we begin, we are going to take some time to settle down in a moment of silence.
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
This week our word of the week is…
