DAY 1 – 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 are 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 GRATITUDE. As we come to the end of another school year, we should always look back and be grateful for the blessings that God has given us as well as the people He has put in our life.
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 GRATITUDE. 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:
What is one thing today that you are truly grateful for and why?
What would change if you made gratitude a daily habit, rather than an occasional feeling?
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 2 – 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 are 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 scripture comes from St Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians. Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians speaks powerfully to Christians navigating uncertainty or opposition. It reminds the people that Christian maturity is seen not only in what people believe but also in how they live, love, and persevere. Its message is one of encouragement: remain faithful, support one another, pursue holiness, and live with confident hope in the return of Christ.
A reading from St Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians
‘Be joyful always, pray at all times, be thankful in all circumstances. This is what God wants from you in your life in union with Christ Jesus.’
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
The Word of the Lord
THANKS BE TO GOD
Make sure you put the scripture reference (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) 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
Today, we are going to practising giving thanks to those who we appreciate. In your form take a small piece of paper and write a note for someone who has done something good for you recently that may not have shown Gratitude towards. This could be a teacher, person at home or friend. When you see them again, give them the note, making sure they know how thankful you are for them.
Let us pray together…
Amen
Loving God, Thank you for the gift of the people around us and help us to show our appreciation. Thank you for showing a little bit of you in them.
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.

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.
