Year of Prayer 2024
Preparation for the Jubilee Year of 2025
Ways into Prayer
The Spirituality Commission for the Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark, in collaboration with the Anglican Diocese of Rochester, has produced Ways Into Prayer. Its purpose is to help us to develop and deepen our relationship with God. It is primarily intended for use in parishes, schools or group settings. The Ways into Prayer pack contains leader’s notes and guided prayer exercises.
Prayer lies at the very heart of the life of the Church and is the foundation of Christian discipleship. In prayer we relate to God with the whole of our being: with heart, mind, body and soul. Prayer will always be a journey of discovery where we continue to be surprised by God (Introduction, Ways Into Prayer).
In additon to the hard copies which can be ordered via our store, you can also view and download all of the material on the Spirituality Commission Website via the button below.
The Spirituality Commission will also hold free short workshops aimed to enable use of Ways into Prayer (15 May and 8 June). The training will be facilitated by Trudy Kilcullen and Fr Douglas Bull both members of the Southwark Spirituality Commission together with Christine Crump/ Martin Grecula from St John Fisher Church, Bexley, who will share their experience of using the resource at parish level. To book please sign up via the button below. A zoom link will be sent to you a week before the workshop.
We Dare to Say - Resource on the Lord’s Prayer
We Dare To Say is a resource for small group faith-sharing and for individual meditation, featuring five sessions each based on a line from the Lord’s Prayer. Each session includes scripture, prayers and a reflection with questions. The connection of the Our Father with the sacraments and the devotional life is explored, and wisdom from the saints is offered for the spiritual growth of group participants and individuals alike.
We Dare to Say is available as a 52-page, full-colour booklet which you can purchase via our online store. Alternatively you can download A4 PDFs of each of the five sessions by clicking the buttons below.
If you are a Parish please email aec@rcaos.org.uk to order multiple copies.
You are able to collect from Bowen House but please give advanced warning as we are not in the office everyday.
