Some of the suggestions made by parishioners during the recent SYNOD consultation relating to the prayer life of us all. Since 2012 the Diocese has been calling us to increase the longstanding Catholic tradition of pausing for prayer at 3pm on Fridays, the time that Jesus died on the Cross.
The Diocese say we would like to invite all Catholics to pause for a moment of prayer, praise and thanksgiving at 3pm (or at lunchtime if you prefer). You may wish to make up a prayer of your own or say “We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you, because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world”. The exact words used are not as important as pausing to be with Jesus in that moment and deepening your relationship with Him.
