The making of a prayer shawl is a spiritual practice which embodies thoughts and prayers for the receiver. It is a gift freely given with no strings attached. Made in prayer, as prayer, for prayer, the shawls are passed on hand-to-hand and heart-to-heart.

A prayer shawl or blanket embraces the recipient with the unconditional love of the Lord. It is a gift reaching out to those in need of comfort and solace as well as in celebration and joy. Prayer squares are given to those going on mission trips, working for social justice. Many blessings are prayed into every item we make.

Goal - 35 Shawls/Lapghans

I brought home a beautiful triangle shawl and a beautiful lapghan/blanket last night after our Tuesday evening meeting at Sue's. We now have 11 shawls/lapghans toward our goal of 35 - unique and lovely items made by so many of us. They keep multiplying - just like the loaves and the fishes! Thank you all.

Do not walk through time without leaving worthy evidence of your passage.
Blessed John XXIII
