Written by The Editors | Sep 21, 2020 3:49:52 PM

Looking for new ideas or resources to engage your faith or your ministry? Here are our weekly curated links, including offerings in each of the following categories: Prayer for the Home, Educational Opportunities, Resources (for ministers, educators, parents, etc.), and Flourishing and Fun.

Prayer for the Home: 

Pray with Scripture using Lectio Divina
It’s the feast of St. Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist, and what better occasion to learn how to incorporate Scripture into your family’s prayer time using lectio divina? Download the McGrath Institute's free Prayer Enrichment Guidebook to learn about this and six other forms of prayer in the Catholic Christian tradition.

Educational Opportunities:

Series Videos: Building an Anti-Racist Vocabulary
Notre Dame’s Klau Center for Human Rights has been hosting a series of webinars entitled “Building an Anti-Racist Vocabulary.” Watch the videos that have been recorded thus far in the series, and learn more about additional resources.

Resources:

ICYMI: NFCYM Webinar Recordings
Last week, the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) wrapped up a four-part webinar series for youth ministers, “Restoring Hope.” Sign up to receive access to the recordings and learn about issues from responding to teen substance abuse to mental health resources for ministers. 

Flourishing:

Literature in the Digital Age
This thoughtful article from Brett Robinson, the McGrath Institute’s Director of Communications, questions the connections between story and society in the age of truncation and tweeting. 

And just for fun:

Behind My Mask craft
This wonderfully simple craft offers children a way to create a self-portrait that allows them to incorporate their favorite mask patterns while still being able to showcase the smiles and personalities underneath!
