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
This week we will look at the word of the week ‘KINGDOM’. Today, we aren’t going to be watching a video but instead we are going to be talking in form about different questions based on the word ‘KINGDOM’. Talk in pairs about the following questions.
How is God’s kingdom different from earthly kingdoms you know about?
How can you live as a citizen of God’s kingdom in your daily life at school or home?
What challenges do you face in living as a citizen of God’s kingdom, and how can you overcome them?
In your forms, you may want to put any key words that are said about God’s Kingdom around the word ‘KINGDOM’ on your sheet.
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 KINGDOM. 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, in prayer, for all who lead us along the right path and never ‘into temptation’, as 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
‘God’s Message for Us’ is back. Watch the video this week about our word of the week ‘Kingdom’.
“Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.”
Make sure you put the scripture reference (Matthew 6:33) in the scripture box on your sheet.
In the video, how we should prioritise God’s Kingdom above everything else. in pairs discuss: What does it mean for you to “seek first the kingdom of God” in your daily life?
In the video, it also talks about how the scripture says that God will ‘provide’ everything else we need if we focus on God’s Kingdom. in pairs discuss: Do you find it easy or difficult to trust God to provide for your needs? Why?
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…
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.
Let us pray
O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit,
did instruct the hearts of your faithful,
grant that by that same Holy Spirit,
we may be truly wise, and ever rejoice in your consolation, Through Christ our Lord.
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 revisit the scripture from yesterday that we are taking with us throughout the week.
“Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.”
We are going to carrying on learning about Catholic Social Teaching in our ‘Response’ section. Modern Catholic social teaching is said to have originated in 1891 with the encyclical letter, Rerum Novarum. Since then, a wealth of teaching continue to give new life to the Scriptures and shape the Church’s response to our modern world. From these Catholic social teaching documents and encyclicals we derive core principles.
This week we are looking at the CST principle of ‘Creation and Environment’. This links with our word of the week ‘Kingdom’ as our kingdom is the creation of God and we must do our best to protect the environment and everything init. Watch the video below to learn more about this principle.
In your response box, write some of your forms answers to the questions below.
When was the last time you felt awe or wonder at the beauty of creation? What does this tell you about God’s presence in the natural world?
Do my habits or lifestyle choices contribute to environmental harm, and how might they be affecting others I cannot see?
As form time prayer comes to an end, we pray for everyone who accompanies us in our relationship with Jesus. With all these things in our head, we pray together…
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 – THE MISSION FOR THE WEEK
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, our scripture this week and the prayer from yesterday, 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.
“Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.”
Discuss in your form what mission you want to set for yourselves on the theme of KINGDOM and then write it on the form time prayer sheet.
Example
Our mission for the theme of KINGDOM is to carry a reusable water bottle with us so we do not use single use plastic cups to help build God’s Kingdom through stewarsdship.
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

is now, and ever shall be
world without end.
