Week A

Stage 4

Daily Prayer


In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.


Loving Father, I gather in Your presence.

I invite stillness into my heart.

May I breathe in Your peace and breathe out all stress and worry.

Holy Spirit, speak to me through this time in prayer so that the ear of my heart may understand God’s will.

Cherish and Challenge:

Cherish: When has someone in my life sacrificed for me as an expression of love?

Challenge: Do my actions act as proof of God’s love in my relationships with others? Do I sacrifice for others? Do I forgive without conditions? Do I love unconditionally?


God of love,

May my eyes see with the eyes of Jesus so that I see all who feel invisible.

May my ears hear with the ears of Jesus so that I can hear the needs of the voiceless on the margins.

May my hands work like the hands of Jesus so that they build a world of justice and sustainability.

May my heart love like the heart of Jesus so that my life will become proof of Your love.

We pray this in the name of love, Jesus Christ,

Amen

Questions to support my thinking


Activity too hard?

If you are not sure about answering the questions regarding context in the table, write a paragraph to summarise Dr. Seuss' upbringing, and what you think made him the storyteller that he became.


Activity too easy?

If you found this interesting, write a response to the question, "Someone's upbringing will always be reflected in their work in later life". In this response, you can draw on your knowledge from the clip about Dr. Seuss.
