saturday prayers
This page features four prayers for Saturdays. The
first prayer is suitable for using at Easter time on Holy Saturday. It considers how we can discover God's hope in a dark or uncertain place. The second one is a
short prayer to say at the beginning of your day, and next one is an inspiring
morning prayer image to meditate on. Finally, there is a
night prayer for reflecting on the blessings of the day just gone.
Holy Saturday morning prayer
O Lord,
On this day, the world was waiting, like a long winter hoping for spring, like a dry land awaiting rain.
Still, quiet, in between a world hesitating, silent hope in a dark place.
Lord, we give to you the times we have in own lives, where all we can do is wait, when all we hold is hope. We give you those times when all we have is faith in new life, new beginnings and heavens call.
Be with all those who today wait in that cold, uncertain place. Hold them, keep them safe in your arms, resting in your promise of new life.
Amen.
Short Saturday morning prayer
Saturday is like a blank page, fresh and new, a pause away from routines and responsibilities.
Thank you for rest, for recreation, family and friends.
Lord, thank you for Saturdays.
Amen.

The treasure of Saturday freedom."
