When Prayer is Hard, We Can Pray in Color...with the Poetry of Mary Oliver

“I wouldn’t persuade you from whatever you believe or whatever you don’t. That’s your business, But I thought, of the wren’s singing, what could this be if it isn’t prayer. So I just listened, my pen in the air.”---Mary Oliver

Mary Oliver was a prolific writer of poetry that reflected her prayer life, and therefore ours. Her poems have touched countless lives around the world and can often be used when we can’t come up with words of our own.

Praying in Color is simply doodling with color as a way of helping to focus our wandering minds during prayer or meditation, and when our own words are lacking. It’s a simple and creative way to pray, meditate, or reflect. No previous experience or artistic skills are required! Art supplies will be provided!
