So how does having diabetes affect lives? CLICK HERE for a short quiz to highlight symptoms of diabetes. Here's a really great 6 minute video of Things Not To Say To Someone With Type 1 Diabetes.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY Loving God, we hold before you all who are living with or are affected by diabetes and ask you to ease suffering and to quiet fears.
We give thanks for their fortitude and ability to organise and ask you to give them strength and encouragement.
We pray for those researching treatments and cures, that they will use their skills and knowledge, finding the inspiration to make diabetes a thing of the past.
We pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN. |

16/11/2024(2 events) On the morning of November 16, 1989, an elite battalion of the Salvadoran Army entered the grounds of the Jesuit University of Central America, with orders to kill Father Ignacio Ellacuría—an outspoken critic of the Salvadoran military dictatorship—and leave no witnesses. When it was all over, the soldiers had killed six Jesuit priests, a housekeeper and her 16 year old daughter in cold blood. The Jesuits Massacre is one of most notorious crimes of El Salvador’s 12-year civil war, which left over 75,000 people dead including most famously Archbishop (now Saint) Oscar Romero.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY God, Creator of life and human dignity, we celebrate the witness of your martyrs for faith, for peace, and for justice. Have mercy on the souls of these departed ones and grant them peace. May the memory of the Jesuits and the members of the Ramos family who died in El Salvador in 1989 help us move to a deeper understanding of the demands of justice and guide us to speak your truth to those in power.
Give us the courage to raise our voices for those who suffer oppression and violence. Grant us your joy as we work to bring your kingdom to this world. Amen.

International Day for Tolerance Here's a quite wonderful video (4 mins 17 secs) Which of these people do you:
Perhaps tolerance is a simple as following the teaching of Jesus to "Treat others as you'd like to be treated!"
A PRAYER FOR TODAY While the United Nations designates today an International Day for Tolerance, we know that you, God of all people, call us to something higher, to something beyond mere tolerance. We pray that you would enable and empower us to be people of love and compassion, who actively seek the good of the other and work to to that day when people from all tribes and tongues might come together in peace, embracing and delighting in our differences. Amen
