e-devotion
adds Advent swatch
e-devotion: 12 December 2012 --
E-devotion,
which was announced recently through this medium, sought
practical assistance by way of resource material for one or
other of
its prayer pages. This appeal found ready and generous
response from
Don Bosco Publications in Bolton, UK.
Fr David O'Malley SDB, had already tried his hand at a swatch
a year or
two back - a simple collection of prayers which people can
keep in
their (large!) pocket, pull out and use in groups or
individually. Not
just prayers: a prayer and an activity. It has been so
successful
in the Catholic and Anglican community that they decided to
try another
one, an Advent and Christmas Swatch. The Advent part
(one side of
the swatch) is now
available,
slightly re-designed, in e-devotion. Why not tyr
it for your personal Advent preparation. If Don Bosco
Publications are happy with what we have done they might also
allow us
to include the Christmas side!
And you will also note that the prayers are beginning to come
in. It
took a while to set up the technical part for receiving,
sorting and
publishing prayers in whatever language they arrive in, but
it's now in
place. Why
not
give that a try as well?
