Q-Tip and Finger Painting
Using a Q-tip or your fingers, paint the different phrases from the Gospel, various saints, or others who have helped you grow in faith. Then post them around the house. You will need various colors of paint, paper (or paper plates), paint brushes, water, and newspaper or something to keep the paint from getting on the floor.
Prayer for Vocations
Loving and Generous God,
it is you who call us by name
and ask us to follow you.
Help us to grow in the love
and service of our Church
as we experience it today.
Give us the energy and courage
of your Spirit
to shape its future
Grant us faith-filled leaders
who will embrace Christ's mission
of love and justice.
Bless our domestic Church and larger community
by raising up dedicated and generous leaders
from our families and friends
who will serve your people as Sisters,
Priests, Brothers, Deacons and Lay Ministers
through marriage or the single life.
Inspire us to know you better
and open our hearts
to hear your call.
We ask this through our Lord.
Amen.
Adapted from Prayer #3 found at http://www.usccb.org/prayer-an...
What colors and/or designs do you see in the stained-glass windows at your parish? Do they look different outside than they do inside?
Think about something for which you need
more courage. Write (or draw) it on a piece of paper. Ask one family member to
pray for this intention for a whole week.
