Planning a Celebration of the Word

This brand new video helps explore our diocesan approach to planning prayer and liturgy with Young people. It’s a great resource for anyone who is looking for new and creative ways to engage their students in worship.

In the video, we discuss a four-lens approach to planning prayer and liturgy. This approach helps you to ensure that your prayer and liturgy is meaningful, engaging, and inclusive.

The four lenses are:

  • Season: The liturgical season is a great way to frame your prayer and liturgy. It can help you to choose appropriate scripture passages, music, and visuals.
  • Scripture: The Bible is the foundation of our faith. It is important to choose scripture passages that are age-appropriate and relevant to the theme of your prayer and liturgy.
  • Senses: Prayer and liturgy should engage all of our senses. This can be done through music, visuals, objects, and actions.
  • Structure: The structure of your prayer and liturgy should be clear and easy to follow. It should also be engaging and inviting.

The video provides a number of practical tips for using the four lenses to plan your prayer and liturgy and can be used as one whole video or in 4 parts on the playlist below!
