How to pray as a community
Choose a prayer leader. Follow the speaker labels: Prayer leader introduces each section, proclaims Scripture, and reads the petitions; Everyone joins in the common prayers and responses. Italic directions guide moments of silence and are not spoken. The leader may be a lay person.
- Choose a day and make the Sign of the Cross.
- Pray the opening prayer and pause with Scripture.
- Pray with the day’s theme and offer your intentions.
- Offer the Prayer of Thanksgiving for the Visit together.
- Close with the traditional prayers and a small act of charity.
Pray one day at a time over nine days. You can revisit any day, and your progress stays in this browser. A missed day is an invitation to return gently.
