space here for that. so, Father, can you help us, here?
(Pause for silent re ection.)
All holy spirit, can you inspire us to think of ways to make this prayer center our own? (Pause for silent re ection.)
All Jesus, once we’ve made this prayer center, can you meet us here, and be with us, just as we are?
(Pause for silent re ection.)
All anks. in the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the holy spirit. amen.
(Now that you’ve prayed about it, take some time to think about what you can do to make the prayer center a place where you and others can really experience God together. You may want to bring items from home, or create something in class together. Your teacher may also have some ideas. Whatever it is, decide on it together. Remember, the Holy Spirit is inspiring you.)
