What are Prayer Shawls?A PRAYER SHAWL BEGINS WITH THE SHAWL MAKER SAYING PRAYERS FOR THE RECIPIENT. THE INTENTIONS ARE CONTINUED DURING THE CREATION OF THE SHAWL. AT MEETINGS, MEMBERS PRAY TOGETHER FOR THE RECIPIENTS AND REQUESTORS, AND A FINAL BLESSING IS OBTAINED FROM A PRIEST OR A DEACON. WHEN A PERSON WRAPS ONESELF IN A PRAYER SHAWL, THE SHAWL SERVES AS A REMINDER OF THE MERCY, PEACE AND COMPASSION THAT CAN BE FOUND IN GOD'S LOVING EMBRACE.
