You may have answered this before, but what is a prayer shawl?
The first exchange went very well. In two weeks we will be attending the Anglican service as readers. Hopefully that goes just as well.

A prayer shawl is a shawl that is knit (or crocheted) and as it is made is prayed on by the person making it. I usually pick something simple with a three stitch pattern so I can say my morning prayers while knitting it.

Then in the Catholic tradition the priest blesses it and they are given to anyone who is sick, suffering or lonely in the parish.
Thank you so much for the explaination. What a beautiful gesture.

I just accepted a sub job for tomorrow, that’s two for this week, then Fall Break takes up the rest of the week. I’d love to get one for next Monday to go with the two I have for that week.

TOFM arrived this morning. ☹️

Leftovers for dinner.

We’re all relaxing now.
