A PRAYER FOR TODAY - AVAILABLE HERE AS A 75 second VIDEO
Creator God,
we give thanks for the wonders of creation
which science helps us understand and appreciate.
Give inspiration to all doing scientific research – as they search for insight and truth;
Give determination to all who apply science - in helping us live life in all its fullness;
Give wisdom to decision makers - that science might always be used for the betterment of all who share this Common Home.
We pray that science be instrumental in bringing us to that day
when we will all live in peace;
using, conserving and sharing equitably - the resources of this planet.
We pray this in your Holy Name. AMEN

Loving God,
we hold before you all who are living with or are affected by diabetes

World Day of the Poor World Day of the Poor
15/11/2020
Pope Francis has declared 15th November 2020 as the 4th World Day of the Poor
This is a beautiful short prayer for today:
What can you do?
On this day we are invited to offer friendship, solidarity and welcome to the poorest of our sisters and brothers. As we reach out with love and support, let us hold all members of our global family in our prayers.
You may wish to watch and share Vladimir from Bolivia's prayer video above with your friends and family.
You might also consider whether you are in a position to support others financially. Perhaps, you might consider in the run up to Christmas either asking for or making a World Gift!
