17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Luke 11:1-13
Luke presents the teaching of Jesus concerning prayer having in mind converts like himself. Christians coming from a Jewish background were accustomed to a tradition of daily prayer; Gentile converts, on the other hand, had to acquire a habit of regular prayer; Luke, therefore, stresses perseverance. This gospel may have something to say to us - as the pressures of daily life make regular prayer more difficult. ‘Teach us to pray’. The disciples are not merely asking how to pray; they want to know what should be the content of the prayer that makes them true followers of Jesus. The Lord’s Prayer, as it came to be called, soon had a central place in the Church’s life.

 -St Peter of Chysolgos
​On July 30, the Catholic Church celebrates Saint Peter Chrysologus, a fifth-century Italian bishop known for testifying courageously to Christ's full humanity and divinity during a period of doctrinal confusion in the Church.
Pray to St Peter: 
Father,
you made Peter Chrysologus
an outstanding preacher of your incarnate Word. May the prayers of Saint Peter help us to cherish the mystery of our salvation and make its meaning clear in our love for others.
Amen.

​Prayer Starters
Brainstorm starters for prayers and make a set of coloured cards. Find a fun way to display them e.g. in a glass jar, a bright box/bowl or assembled on a ring.  Students choose one or are randomly allocated a Prayer Starter, and use this as a stimulus for vocal or written prayers.
Loving God, I feel …
Creator God, sometimes I wonder……
Gentle God, help me to know …..

Silence and Stillness
