DAY 2 – WHAT’S IN THE WORD?
Before we begin this form time prayer, let’s take a moment to light our candle and spend some time in silence thinking about all the things that on our hearts and minds today…
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 Word of the Week is COUNSEL. Watch the video below with our special guest to find out more.
This week, we are in ORDINARY TIME, which means our liturgical colour is what? (Clue: This is the colour of our computer background) Tick the correct colour on your sheet.
The Word of the Week this week is COUNSEL. Make sure this is written on the sheet and your form is written in the form box.
Answer the following questions in pairs or as a form:
When you have a difficult choice to make, what is the first place you usually look for advice?
Who are the wise people in your life (parents, teachers, priests, trustworthy friends) that you go to for advice? What makes you trust their counsel?
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.
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
Before we begin this form time prayer, let’s take a moment to light our candle and spend some time in silence thinking about all the things that on our hearts and minds today…
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 this week comes from the Book of Proverbs. The Book of Proverbs is the premier volume of Wisdom Literature in the Old Testament, a collection of short, memorable sayings, poems, and teachings. It is largely attributed to King Solomon of Israel, who reigned around the 10th century BC. The central purpose of Proverbs is to impart practical wisdom, moral discipline, and understanding for living a righteous and successful life on earth.
A reading from the book of Proverbs
‘Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. Many are the plans in the mind of a man but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.’
Proverbs 19:20-21
The Word of the Lord
THANKS BE TO GOD
Answer the following questions in pairs or as a form:
The gift of Counsel from the Holy Spirit does not replace human wisdom; it perfects it. This scripture teaches that when we listen to others and gain knowledge, we can use this to gain wisdom and make right judgements in the future. What’s one piece of good advice you heard this week from a parent, teacher, or friend that you will try to remember and use next week?
When using the Gift of Counsel, we are ultimately seeking God’s purpose, not just our own comfort. What does this scripture tell us about our plans and God’s will?
Make sure you put the scripture reference (Proverbs 19:20-21) 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 3/4 – OUR RESPONSE TO GOD’S MESSAGE
Before we begin this form time prayer, let’s take a moment to light our candle and spend some time in silence thinking about all the things that on our hearts and minds today…
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:
‘Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. Many are the plans in the mind of a man but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.’
Proverbs 19:20-21
Beginning with All Saints’ Day, followed by the celebration of All Souls’ Day, the whole month of November is dedicated to Holy Souls.
Throughout November: we pray for those who have died; we ask for the intercession of the communion of saints and; on the final Sunday of the Church’s Liturgical year, we celebrate the solemnity of Christ The King and World Youth Sunday.
On your ‘We shall serve by’ working wall on your form board, write the names of all the holy souls in your hearts – the people you’d like to pray for who are in heaven but whose memory we honour through our daily lives.
As you do this, listen to the music and reflect on these people, now with the angels, whose lives have touched our hearts and who we will never forget. In our prayers, we also remember Pope Francis who joined the angels this year.
Let us pray the prayer of Eternal Rest…
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
Amen
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace. 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 4/5 – OUR MISSION
Before we begin this form time prayer, let’s take a moment to light our candle and spend some time in silence thinking about all the things that on our hearts and minds today…
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.
‘Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. Many are the plans in the mind of a man but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.’
Proverbs 19:20-21
Discuss in your form what mission you want to set for yourselves on the theme of COUNSEL and then write it on the form time prayer sheet.
Example
Our mission for the theme is to choose one thing you are currently worried about or planning anxiously and ask the Holy Spirit (Counsel) to replace anxiety with peace and prudence.
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
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning
is now, and ever shall be
world without end.
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
Prayer leaders, please make sure your form time prayer sheet is handed in at the chaplaincy office, after Form Time Prayer on Friday. Please post it under the office door if we are in Mass.
