Resources

The resources on this site are a series of prayer reflections that have already been used by some groups and may be of assistance for teachers and adult group leaders in their preparation of prayer for special occasions. The topics have been grouped into themes and in their description provide information about both the focus and nature of the prayer and the original group.
