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 Gospel of John.
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
GLORY TO YOU O LORD
‘‘And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.”
John 15:13
The Gospel of the Lord
PRAISE TO YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST
Make sure you put the scripture reference (Luke 2:10) in the scripture box on your sheet.
Write your form’s thoughts about the above in the message box.
Answer the following questions in pairs or as a form:
The angel said, “Do not be afraid.” How does fear sometimes block joy in your life? How can you overcome fear to experience more joy?
The shepherds were doing ordinary work when they experienced something extraordinary. Have you ever found joy in an ordinary or unexpected moment? What was it like?

DAY 3 – 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:
‘‘And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.”
John 15:13
This week we are focusing on the theme of Joy and how we can spread that to everyone. One thing that we can do as a form is affirmations, sharing positive and empowering statements to each other. These can help people increase in confidence and replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts.
Today, we are going to be extending affirmations to each other. Remember the purpose of these is to build each other up and to respect each other.
Some examples of affirmations:
- I admire how hard you work—you inspire me to do my best
- Your kindness makes a big difference to everyone around you.
- You have such a creative mind—I love how you think outside the box.
Turn to the person next to you and say something that you find great about them. We are all unique people and each of us have amazing qualities that we might not recognise in our self.
If you have shared with the person next to you, you can then share with other people around you.
Once you have shared with the people around you, put an affirmation for your whole form in the response section on your sheet.
Example:
Our form is a place of kindness and respect.
Let us pray…
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.
