Prayers and Spiritual Nourishment
Through pastoral work in school, I have held group prayers and entered into classes to talk about ways of praying. These prayers can be used for individuals or as groups to help with reflection and contemplation. I hope these prayer resources may be useful to your school or organisation. Feel free to use these prayers but please ensure credit remains for the author of anything quoted. Be sure to let me know if you have any suggestions.

Amidst the Covid-19 outbreak I heard a need for new ways to grow spiritual nourishment online. So... I hope this list of digital resources may continue to be helpful. Please feel free to share the list and get in touch if there are any other good resources that you would recommend.
