Orando em Cores!
Acolhida: Somos todos e todas acolhidas pelas palavras de Jesus Cristo em Mt 6.5-6 que dizem: “Quando vocês orarem, não sejam como os hipócritas. Eles gostam de orar de pé nas sinagogas e nas esquinas das ruas para serem vistos pelos outros. Eu afirmo a vocês que isto é verdade: eles já receberam a sua recompensa. Mas você, quando orar, vá para o seu quarto, feche a porta e ore ao seu Pai, que não pode ser visto. E o seu Pai, que vê o que você faz em segredo, lhe dará a recompensa.”
Hino: LC da IECLB 25
Vamos orar em Cores?
No Dia Mundial de Oração pela Diaconia do mês de Julho estamos propondo uma oração diferente: A oração em Cores (Praying in Colors).
A prática da oração em cores nasceu quando Sybil MacBeth (EUA) dançarina e ex-professora de matemática não encontrava sentido nas orações que fazia. Especialmente quando amigos, amigas e familiares receberam diagnósticos de doenças graves, de desemprego, notícias difíceis e dolorosas. Um dia de verão, ela se retirou para a varanda de trás da casa com uma cesta de lápis de cor, canetas coloridas, giz de cera e começou a orar em cores. Ela desenhou uma forma, colocou o nome de um amigo dentro e acrescentou linhas e cores. Ela desenhou outra forma, colocou outro nome dentro e acrescentou detalhes e cores. Quando a página estava coberta de desenhos e nomes, ela percebeu que havia orado e agradeceu a Deus por ter lhe dado um jeito diferente de orar. A ação do desenho, das cores foi uma oração sem palavras, mas com o desejo e o carinho de colocar as pessoas que ela amava aos cuidados de Deus. (https://prayingincolor.com/)
Depois dessa experiência ela elencou algumas razões pelas quais podemos exercitar a oração em Cores.
.
A oração em Cores pode te ajudar a orar, quando:
1)Você quer orar, mas não têm palavras…
2)Permanecer em silêncio, manter o foco na oração é um desafio…
3)Você quer que o seu corpo faça parte da oração…
4)Quando você quer estar com Deus e não sabe como…
5)Quando ouvir Deus te parece impossível…
6)Quando você quer uma maneira concreta e visual de orar…
7)Quando você precisa de uma nova maneira de orar…
Leitura do Salmo 138
Orando em Cores….
1) Vamos iniciar pegando uma folha em branco, e numa parte dela escrevacomo vocês se dirige a Deus em oração: Querido Deus, Amado Deus, Senhor… Pense um pouco antes de escrever….
Concentre-se no nome que você escolheu, no nome que você se dirige a Deus e faça riscos, dê cores para este nome… Esse é um momento somente entre você e Deus. Se as palavras chegarem, ore-as. Se não, aproveite o teu tempo em silêncio com Deus.
Hino: LC 205
2) Agora, vamos orar por uma pessoa. Escreva o nome de uma pessoa querida pra ti e que está passando por um momento de dor, sofrimento, dificuldade. Desenhe em volta do nome da pessoa que você escolheu. Continue desenhando, colorindo, enquanto você coloca essa pessoa aos cuidados de Deus.
Hino: LC 198
3) Adicione o nome de outra pessoa por quem você quer orar, ao seu desenho. Pense em cada pincelada do seu lápis, do seu giz de cor como uma oração por essa pessoa.
Hino: LC 198
4) Pense agora numa situação de dor, sofrimento, que você percebe na cidade, no lugar onde você mora, escreva essa situação no papel e coloque cor nesse pedido…
Hino: LC 198
5) Pense agora numa situação de dor, de sofrimento a nível nacional ou internacional, escreva essa situação no papel e coloque cor nesse pedido…
Hino: LC 198
Cada pessoa, no final da oração, olha para o seu desenho, pelas pessoas e situações pelas quais orou e entrega com as irmãs e irmãos aos cuidados de Deus, orando o Pai Nosso.
Pai Nosso…

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website
Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
