Light a candle
Lord you are the light of the world.
May your light guide and comfort us. We ask you to bless this candle, and more importantly bless the person who lit the candle. May these lights serve to remind them of your presence. Light brings comfort, warmth and hope. May this comfort, warmth and hope touch the hearts and lives of those seeking comfort during difficult times. Bless all students during exams and especially in times of stress. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
All intentions are prayed for during our daily Masses.

For healing
June 22nd
Please heal my sister Maryanne’s body. She can’t walk as she needs two knee replacement surgeries. She has so many other health problems, we’re going to see if she can get robotic knee surgery instead. Help her to walk even a little bit each day until we can see the doctor. Please let all her tests come back normal. And keep the swelling down on her legs. Thank you.
Amen,
Kate Leve
Prayers on Fridays
Pray together
We invite you to join with us in prayer, wherever you may be in the world, every Friday at 12 noon.
We pray the following prayer together:
Almighty and All-loving God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
We pray to you through Christ the Healer
For those who suffer from the Coronavirus Covid-19
In (name your country) and across the world.
We pray too for all who reach out to those who mourn the loss
Of each and every person who has died as a result of contracting the disease.
Give wisdom to policymakers,
Skill to healthcare professionals and researchers,
Comfort to everyone in distress
And a sense of calm to us all in these days of uncertainty and distress.
This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord
Who showed compassion to the outcast,
Acceptance to the rejected
And love to those to whom no love was shown.
Amen.
From all in St Patrick’s Missionary Society.
