Armistice Day Armistice Day
11/11/2020So what about the silence?
Here's how this poem came to be written:
A PRAYER FOR THIS DAYLord of the nations -
We remember with grateful hearts
the men and women of our country
who went forth to protect the liberty we enjoy
but who did not return!
Help us recognise the debt we owe them
so that we may strive, in our own lives,
to protect the freedoms
that were won at so great a cost.
And so we commit to your safekeeping
those who have died in war;
those whose memory we treasure;
those who have sacrificed themselves
in the service of humankind.
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace. AMEN

World Day of the Poor World Day of the Poor
15/11/2020Pope 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!
