Words for the Journey (New revised version)

Words for the Journey is a must-have for teachers and administrators. Each prayerful, easy-to-use service has simple ideas for set-up and is divided into separate readers’ sections. All the themes are firmly rooted in the Word of God, and each prayer service contains a reading adapted from the Good News Bible.

Words for the Journey is organized by month and can be used to foster spiritual experiences in your Catholic school community. The 60 original services range from more contemplative to more active, exploring such themes as gratitude, new beginnings, justice, love, respect and the seasons of the liturgical year. All the services can be easily adapted to suit the needs of those who are using them.

“In Words for the Journey, Lisa Freemantle and Les Miller provide a rich resource for the prayer life of the Catholic school that is firmly rooted in Scripture, the Word for the human journey. It is well suited to the setting of the busy Catholic school, gives pride of place to ritual and participation, and follows a consistent form throughout.” —Noel Martin, Director, Catholic Education, Ontario Catholic School Trustees’ Association
