Praying the Sign of the Cross and the Glory Be
  • Watch a short video that uses the three forms of water (solid, liquid, gas) to explain the Trinity. The Trinity – 3 in 1
  • The Glory Be is a prayer of praise to the Trinity. Pray the Glory Be slowly and mindfully with gestures. Write, sing, dance or paint prayers of praise, e.g. Glory be to God for my loving family; for my awesome friends; for the wonders of our world.
  • Catholics are invited and encouraged to make the Sign of the Cross at the beginning and end of prayers and liturgical celebrations and it can be a sign of moving to a special time to talk to or listen to God.  God is named three times in this prayer. It is a mini creed that recognises and celebrates the Trinity. Pray the Sign of the Cross slowly and reverently.

  • Write the names of people in need e.g. the homeless, the hungry, the refugees, the poor, the lonely, those in prison on the coloured sticks.
  • Write the different forms of prayer e.g. prayers of petition, thanksgiving, intercession, praise, adoration and blessing on the coloured sticks.

Praying Dadirri
  • Experience a Dadirri time of deep listening, inner quiet, still awareness, and waiting.
  • Go outside and simply sit and look at and listen to the earth and surrounding environment Focus on something specific a blade of grass, a clump of soil, cracked earth, a flower, a bush or leaf, a cloud in the sky, the feel of the breeze, the sound of a bird or the branches of a tree. Be still and silent and listen. Respond to this experience by journaling, writing poetry, drawing, painting or singing a prayer. ​

Praying with a Finger Labyrinth
  • Download a labyrinth template. Trace with a coloured pencil or with your index finger.
Suggested Script: 
  • Look carefully at the pattern of the labyrinth.
  • Slow down your breathing and still your body and your mind.
  • Begin at the entrance to the Labyrinth and trace the path into the centre with your finger or pencil. Trace the path very slowly......
  • When you get to the centre, rest there and ask God to bless you and be with you in all you do and say. Breathe and spend some time in silent prayer.
  • Make the journey out breathing in and out slowly.
  • Be aware of God’s love and how God is calling you to be a person of truth or love or peace.
  • When you have completed the journey out from the centre, give thanks to God and ask God for help.
  • Place your hands gently on the labyrinth and rest with your eyes closed.
