LITed - LITURGY EDUCATION NEWS

In Search of Peace

Greetings to all from Liturgy Brisbane.

As we watch with sadness the unfolding war in Ukraine, it is timely to recall the place of the liturgy in bringing us into the reassuring, hope-filled presence of God as we pray in solidarity with others; this is the subject of the first article.
The second item offers prayers of intercession for peace which may be incorporated into parish liturgies.
Mindful of the liturgical season of Lent and the ongoing process of conversion, the third article addresses the quest for
inner peace and the grace-filled attitude of openness to God's patience and mercy.
​Finally, a full Mass outline is provided including prayers, readings and music suggestions, for those wishing to celebrate a special Mass to pray for peace in the world.


This edition of LITed includes a link to commentaries on Mass readings for Lent, freely available online.

You will also find information about Liturgy Brisbane's latest online training course: Liturgy for Primary Teachers.

With very best wishes from all of us at Liturgy Brisbane.

Praying Together With Young People 


A daily prayer resource designed to help teachers, parents and catechists to lead prayer with a class or family. Also includes an electronic flip-book version of the book for easy display on screens.

​The structure of the prayer for each weekday is the same so that prayer time becomes a familiar routine, leading children into a liturgical pattern of responses. Responses to the gospel reading for each day include intercessions, songs, guided meditations, short video clips or silent prayer. Hyperlinks in the electronic version of the resource provide easy access to online reflections.

Sample pages are available to view on the Liturgy Brisbane website.
