Take some time out at the Cathedral to reflect on, and pray for, the economy.

The ‘Pray for the Economy’ labyrinth will remain in the Derby Transept of the Cathedral until the end of February and encourages meditation on how we are affected individually by the recesssion and the impact on the world as a whole.
 
A labyrinth looks like a maze, but there is only one path to follow. People can walk the path slowly as a form of reflection, a spiritual exercise or prayer. The labyrinth begins with a journey inwards, to reflect and pray for yourself and your own circumstances. There is then a pause at the centre before starting the journey outwards with different ways to pray for our region, our nation and the world.
 
The most famous cathedral labyrinth is the thirteenth-century labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral which still attracts large numbers of visitors and is hosted by the Chemin Neuf community.
 
The labyrinth at Liverpool Cathedral is more contemporary, using a mat laid out with prayer stations, each of which offers different materials for reflection and prayer.  
 
Canon White added, “Jesus taught about money a great deal. We’ve included reminders of some of his words, with space to reflect on all we have to be grateful for, and invitations to pray for our own need as and those of others. All are welcome.”
 
The labyrinth and entry to the Cathedral is completely free.
