Explore Prayer and Celebration
Our tradition as Catholics is rich with ritual and celebration of God's presence and action in humankind. Prayer is relationship with God. Young people are exploring the meaning of Catholic ritual, and discovering their own unique spirituality and personal relationship with God. Walk with them on this adventure!- Challenge yourself and your candidate to move beyond mediocrity in your spiritual lives. Have prayer discussions. Share your own struggles with a prayer life and explore praying together. Together commit to a joint effort such as placing a prayer reflection on your bathroom mirrors and praying each morning individually.
- Invite your candidate to join you at the parish Lenten Taize Prayer service. Sunday March 18th at 7:00pm in the Church.
- Laminate the renewal of baptismal vows as a prayer card or book mark.
- Focus prayer with your candidate on significant events in his or her life.
- Give your candidate a poster, icon, picture of Jesus, quotes from a role model or saint that he/she can place in a prayer corner at home.
- Read Scripture aloud
- Have your candidate share contemporary music which is meaningful to him or her. Talk about why.
"This is our faith. This is the faith of the Church. We are proud to profess it in Christ Jesus our Lord."
