The reflections include links to Bible text if you wish to look more closely at the story. We would suggest that you do this after you have finished the reflection; the links work when the PDFs are viewed on a screen.
To use the reflections
- Find a quiet place and time, you may wish to light a candle;
- Sit calmly and comfortably; then
- Just follow the arrows and everybody joins in the bold bits … (They work best if printed out)
- Each reflection has a ‘Thinkabout’ section;
- Remember to read slowly and carefully, different people can read different parts;
- Do not be afraid to pause to leave time to think.
