The Way of Awareness: Prayer, Solitude, & Silence
Cultivating Communities of Care Within…

• Our Self
• Our Relationships
• Our World

Anne Lamott shares: “I don’t know much about God and prayer, but I have come to believe, over the past 25 years, that there is something to be said about keeping prayer simple: Help. Thanks. Wow.”

HELP
What cry of help comes from inside you, the deep part of who
you are?
In your role as a Vincentian, what help and support do you need
from your community?
What cries of help do you hear from our world?

THANKS
What are the gifts you are grateful for…
…within yourself
…within your community of care
…within the community you serve

WOW
Go back into your memory of a wow-worthy experience. Perhaps it was one of your first moments of AWARENESS or an encounter during your daily work. Try to recollect all of the sensations, feelings, details of this moment. Stay there for a few moments reliving the awe
and wonder you experienced.

What is the Vincentian wisdom this wow-worthy moment is trying to show you as you read the book of your life?
