What is one thing you can do this week to show gratitude for the work that other people do for you, like your teachers or parents?
How can the work you do now, even if it’s small, help you grow into the person God wants you to be?
As form time prayer comes to an end, we pray for the Holy Spirit to inspire us as we pray together
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
Amen
And kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
And you will renew the face of the earth.

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
This week our scripture comes from the book of Psalms. The Book of Psalms is a collection of 150 ancient Hebrew poems, songs, and prayers found in the Old Testament. These are the same prayers and songs that Jesus would have prayed with and they still continue to serve as a source of comfort, inspiration, and instruction for people of faith today. When we pray with Psalms we are joining many people around the world and continue a rich history of about 3,000 years
‘Let the favour of the Lord our God be upon us; and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!’
Psalm 90:17
Answer the following questions in pairs or as a form:
How does the idea of God’s “favour” or “beauty” being upon us transform the way you think about a job or task you find difficult or boring?
How can you find and honor the dignity in the work you do every day, even when it feels insignificant?
Make sure you put the scripture reference (Psalm 90:17) 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 3 – 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
Let’s remind ourselves of our scripture:
‘Let the favour of the Lord our God be upon us; and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!’
Psalm 90:17
Today, we’re going to spend time working on our newly developed form boards. Responding to God’s message, make sure everything is clearly displayed on your form board. Work together, pointing out and reading everything that’s been displayed and its purpose:
Our School Mission Statement and Motto, ‘We Shall Serve’ to remind us that each one of us is called to serve, working together for the good of others.
The Mission Prayer, which marks out the beginning of each day, guiding us in our work.
Catholic Social Teaching (CTS) to remind us that this is our school’s pledge to be committed to CST, especially during the Jubilee Year, as Pilgrims of Hope who serve others.
Our House Saint as they’re our patron and role model to whom we can aspire in our work and in our service each day.
The reusable board that says, ‘We Shall Serve By…’ which is our space for spontaneous prayer, personal prayer, responding to the Word, living out the school mission and adding various missions. It’s your space to use productively and will give you a space to stick post-it note prayers, Season of Creation leaves, Remembrance Day poppies, etc, without spoiling your board’s backing. We look forward to seeing how these get used effectively and invite you now to think of ways that you can work together this week to record your efforts on this space, in order to do God’s work!
To end our prayer, let us all pray together…
God of all patience, thank you for listening to our prayers. Help us to carry these words with us throughout the day, so that we can be a little more patient with ourselves and with everyone we meet.
Amen
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 MISSION
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
Thinking about all that we have discussed about the word of the week and our scripture this week, it is time to set our MISSION. The mission should be our way of trying to work as individuals or as a community (whichever you choose), so that we can share the message from this week with the wider community.
‘Let the favour of the Lord our God be upon us; and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!’
Psalm 90:17
Discuss in your form what mission you want to set for yourselves on the theme of WORK and then write it on the form time prayer sheet.
Example
Our mission for the theme of WORK is to to see every task, big or small, as a chance to grow in patience, kindness, and excellence.
As form time prayer comes to an end, we pray for help to complete our mission. With all this in mind, we pray together…
Glory be to the Father
Amen
and to the Son

is now, and ever shall be
world without end.
