The meditation and faith sharing material found here has been co-authored by a group of people. In drawing this material together the group has been conscious of the desire expressed by many for more teaching. A unform structure has been observed throughout and we think you will be stimulated by the variety of styles and approaches to prayer.
The groups session begins with a period of prayer which focusses on the cross. Groups may then wish to have a short period of silence followed by the scripture reading. You are invited to anything that struck you. You are then offered a further reflection that explores the theme of Baptism and Disciple-ship. Finally having shared any further thoughts or questions you are asked to discern the implications which the scripture reading and reflection may have for Christian living in general, and your life in particular.
The group session then proceeds to a small series of petitions affording you the opportunity to give thanks, to ask forgiveness, to say what you want. The session then concludes with a group prayer .
The daily meditation begins with a short extract from the Sunday readings and is followed by a brief reflection. This reflection is complemented by an extract from one of a number of Church documents or the compendium. Having spoent some time reflecting on the Scripture, you may want to spend some additional time reflecting on this particular text. A little later you may choose to look it up in the relevant document or the compendium.
Finally there is a prayer to help you draw your daily meditation to a close. As with the group session, an individual may wish to start their meditation by focussing on a cross.
