When we are at home, we should remember that along with our new daily routines we take time to say our prayers. Fr Alexander shared a special prayer with our P5s when they made their First Holy Communion in the last term and we also use this prayer in school. It's Pope Francis' Five Finger Prayer.
- Those who we love: Your thumb is closest to you so begin by praying for those who are closest to you. They are the easiest to remember.
- Those who teach us: For those who teach you, instruct you and heal you. They need support and wisdom to direct others.
- Those who lead us: The tallest finger reminds us of our leaders and those who have authority. They also need guidance.
- The sick and the weakest: The ring finger is our weakest finger. It reminds us to pray for the weakest, the sick and those who are experiencing difficulties.
- Pray for yourself: The smallest finger reminds us to pray for ourselves once we have prayed for everyone else.
