Traditional date for the Feast of St David - patron saint of Wales


01/03/2020

Here's a video about St David (2:34).

 

Loving God,

we thank you for the example of St. David,

you chose to live a simple life,

and helped others whose lives were simple

not through choice but circumstances.

 

Help us to consider our choices

that we may live more simply

in order to make a big difference to others.

We pray this in your Holy Name. AMEN

 This is a very moving video from Barnardo's (3:51). Don't forget if you, or a friend, needs help - let someone know.

 

REMEMBER: if you're experiencing tough times at the moment or have in the past - it's not your fault - tell someone!

we pray for all who are vulnerable to exploitation.

We pray for those who are in situations they feel they can't get out of.

Help us to notice the signs, offer support and report cases of exploitation.

Give us courage and wisdom to intervene appropriately.

We ask this in your Holy Name. AMEN.

Kindly Saint Joseph,

foster-father and protector of Jesus,

International Day of Happiness


20/03/2020

;

This day is the perfect opportunity to think of what brings you happiness!  Our priorities may well have re-aligned because of the COVID-19 pandemic so it's good to reflect on what causes us to be happy and to give thanks - nurturing those people and things - but I'm guessing mainly people!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Loving God,

we give thanks for those who bring us happiness.

We ask your blessings upon them.

Help us to bring happiness to others

by giving them the dignity of being loved

and appreciated for who they are.

 

Give us wisdom to notice those who are sad

and the right words and gestures to support them.

We ask this in your holy name. AMEN

Anniversary of death of St Oscar Romero


24/03/2020

Known as the 'voice of the voiceless' in El Salvador, Archbishop Oscar Romero was assassinated as he was celebrating Mass.

Here's a wonderful animated mini-biography (4:15).

A PRAYER FOR TODAY (from CAFOD)

Lord Jesus,
We give thanks for the life of
Saint Oscar Romero
who spread your message
and struggled against injustice in El Salvador.

 

Like you,
he was a shepherd, a pastor, a brother;
Like you, he was taken from us;
Like you, he remains in our hearts.

 

Spirit of hope, work within us,
just as you worked
in Saint Oscar Romero,
so that we too may work for justice
and spread the Good News,
by living out the Gospel,
in solidarity with those living in poverty.

AMEN

 Jack Tunnecliffe/CAFOD

And a hymn based on the words of Oscar Romero:

The Annunciation of the Lord


25/03/2020

This is the day we celebrate the Angel Gabriel appearing to Mary and telling her that she is pregnant!

This video (2:49) relates the story!

It is a day when we especially pray that all pregnant women are able to rejoice and respect the new life that they nurture.

It's a good day to say the Hail Mary! (Available here as a 40 second video).
