Celebrating at Home
Resources for you to use at home
To support you throughout these days when many cannot gather to celebrate the Eucharist we are offering our Celebrating at Home series each week. Celebrating at Home is a Liturgy of the Word centred around the Gospel reading for each Sunday. It includes a reflection on the Gospel and prayers.
It can be used personally or with your family. Parts for all to pray are given in bold print and all the other parts can be shared among those present.
We hope that Celebrating at Home will be a source of nourishment and strength for all who use it.
Click the links below to download the prayers and reflections for this coming Sunday. Feel free to share these resources widely.
Remember, you are not alone - we are praying for you and your loved ones.
