Washed away

Prayer Spaces at Home and a Prayer for forgiveness

Hi Kids!

There are times in life when we receive unacceptable actions, from people and they say, “I wish I hadn’t…”, “I’m sorry…”, and “I didn’t mean to…” Sometimes people hurt us with what they do or say to us. Has anyone hurt you? Are you feeling hurt at the moment? Despite this, with God’s help and the support of other persons, we can choose to forgive others.

Today’s Prayer Space is called: Washed Away

One needs:

  • a small paper
  • a pen or whiteboard marker
  • a basin with water

Think of someone who hurt you and you would like to forgive him/her. On the paper write “I forgive you” with a marker or pen. Place the paper in the water and keep looking at it until the word “I forgive you” fades away. Think about how you feel when you forgive as well as when others forgive you. Thank God for forgiving all your faults and ask him to give you the grace to always forgive all those who hurt you through their words and deeds.

Bye-bye kids!

Till we meet again
