World Mission Day


20/10/2019

This is the day in the Church Year when we are reminded to live out the final words of Jesus in Matthew's Gospel.  That's a pretty awesome challenge but we start in the here and now - where we are and who we're with simply by 'treating others as we'd like to be treated' and by helping them 'live life in all its fullness.'   We take comfort from the promise that Jesus is with us always - to the end of time!

A PRAYER FOR WORLD MISSION SUNDAY

Loving God, you call us to proclaim your Good News.

Help us to respond with joy to this call.

Guide us and give us strength to follow you

in all our encounters with our fellow human beings

especially those at the margins of society

and those that suffer in mind and body.

Through our loving words and actions

may we continue to become messengers and co-creators of your Kingdom.

May the Holy Spirit inspire us

through the model of our Holy Father, Francis,

who shows us the way.

Amen

All Souls - the commemoration of all the faithful departed


02/11/2019

Just as Jesus mourned the death of his friend, Lazarus, so we mourn those who have died.

We mark this day thinking about the gift they have been to us; the difference they still make to our lives and we offer this traditional prayer:  (AVAILABLE HERE AS A 1:00 VIDEO)

Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace. AMEN.
