Renunciation
In quiet examination before Jesus, we acknowledge our weakness and renounce the sin and harmful patterns that separate us from God and His love.

Our path of prayer
Five steps of holiness
and healing
We gather in the name of Jesus and begin with consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, prayer to the Holy Spirit and a hymn. The evening then follows a gentle five-step path that helps us open our lives to God’s love and His Word.
Entrusting and surrender
We place our worries, difficulties and burdens into the hands of Jesus. These may be offered aloud or silently, without discussion or comment.
At the heart of the gathering
Sunday Scripture
We listen to the readings for the coming Sunday, read them again in silence and notice the sentence that touches us. Those who wish may share the words that spoke to their heart while the group listens prayerfully.
Prayer
We bring the needs of the Church, the world and those we love before God, responding together in faith and entrusting every intention to His holy will.
Thanksgiving and praise
We recognise God’s gifts and the ways He is working in our lives. With gratitude, we give thanks and glory to the Lord.
Blessing
We ask God’s blessing upon our families, communities and the world, so that we may become a blessing to everyone God sends to us.
All ages welcome
Come as you are
and pray with us
You do not need previous experience of Lectio Divina or group prayer. You are welcome to listen, pray silently and take part at your own pace as we prepare our hearts for Sunday Mass and grow together in God’s Word.
