Prayer and Meditation

 

 

Prayer for New Beginnings

Lord of the years,
We ask your blessing on the year to come.
Give us the resilience to bear its disappointments,
Energy to seize its opportunities
And openness to accept the abundant life
Which you have promised to us.  Amen.

Quiet Room

The Chaplaincy quiet room is available for anyone who wants some space to read or pray. There's no need to book it - just use it!


E-Meditations
There are some excellent resources if you want to experiment with praying through the Internet. You might find it helpful if you are looking for new ways to pray to check out some of these sites.
Sacred Space is a Catholic site run by the Jesuit order. (If you're not a Roman Catholic, don't be put off by the invitation to 'pray with the Pope'!) It's a very restful site, well worth a visit.
Pray-as- you-go is an exciting new website which offers daily prayer downloads straight to your MP3 player.
The Church of England website includes user-friendly ideas about how to pray. Try this if you want to explore a traditional structure or experiment with your own patterns of prayer.
The Church of Scotland offers a more contemporary approach in Pray Now, including a prayer for the day, a quote from scripture, bible reading suggestions and a blessing.
rejesus is a site that's full of good things, including a section on daily prayer. It will give you ideas about different approaches to prayer, and could give you a taster of where a life of serious prayer and meditation might lead!
