At the Christmas Rock Mass we prayed for Jesus to bring light into the dark situations around the world and in our lives. I bought a couple of paper chain making kits from eBay. With suitable music playing, people wrote their prayers on the back of their links and added them to the chain. It was really powerful as our prayers joined together and we all gathered around the altar together. We all took a glow stick (or many as some of our kids saw fit) and made bracelets to symbolise the light of Christ entering into the world. Then the president brought all of the prayers together at the end and offered them before God as they were placed around the crib scene.
