Setting up a tent

Prayer Spaces at Home and a Prayer to appreciate God's creation

 Imagine that you are on a trip. After a while you reach a really beautiful place. Everywhere around you there are mountains, lakes among fields full of green grass, trees, colourful flowers of every kind. Then you notice a butterfly, birds flying, a cat running. As you look at a path, you decide to follow it. While walking slowly and enjoying the gentle breeze of the wind, you hear someone calling you: “Time is Up, we’re leaving very soon!” Your immediate reaction at that moment is: “Let us stay here longer!”

  • Form the paper tent (template)
  • On one side write a phrase to give gratitude to God for the beauty of creation.
  • On the other side draw a cloud and on it write: “You are my beloved.”
