New Year Liturgy Gathering

Workshops

1. How can I pray with the Jubilee Logo?
   Father Damian McNeice will lead people into a prayerful reflection on the logo of the Jubilee of Mercy created by Marko Rupnik S.J. Youwill take home ideas for praying with small or large groups as you are invited into the prayerful world of image and icon-ography.
2. How can the Parables of Luke still speak to us today?
   Father Kieran O’Mahony O.S.A. will open up the treasures of the Parables of Mercy which are a rich source of inspiration for prayer services, scripture study and lectio divina groups during the Year of Mercy.
3. How can I rediscover Mercy/Trócaire at this time?
   Ms. Hannah Evans will introduce Trócaire’s catechetical programme entitled ‘Rediscovering Mercy’. This workshop will show how to use this resource with its theme of mercy and how we can express it in our lives. Additional liturgical resources for the Year of Mercy and Lent 2016 will also be provided.
4. How can I celebrate the Jubilee of Mercy in Lent 2016?
   Father Pat O’Donoghue will offer ideas for creating an ‘oasis of mercy’ during Lent which will include music, reflection and nature. Examples of reconciliation Services which can be used during the ‘24 Hours for the Lord’ campaign on 4/5 March will be shared. He will also look creatively at the corporal and spiritual works of mercy showing how they can be incorporated into a Novena of Grace.
5. How can I continue to Gather for Prayer on weekdays in the absence of an ordained priest?
   Ms. Julie Kavanagh will explore in a practical and reflective way the challenge of leading people in prayer on weekdays when Mass cannot be celebrated. Drawing from the recent publication of the National Liturgy Centre – It Is Good For Us To Be Here – Julie will introduce the formation material from this resource and the wider context for this discussion.
