Children's Grief Awareness Week


19/11/2024 25/11/2024

Grief is something we all experience at some point in our lives. While no two people react in exactly the same way, there is much to learn from hearing about others' experiences and sharing our own when we feel able to.

If you are grieving and want to talk to someone, do approach someone you trust.
If someone who is grieving approaches you, don't worry - you won't make it worse. The worst has already happened. If they want to talk, just listen.

Here are some reflections on what it can be like to lose someone.

A PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DIED

Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace. AMEN

 

 

A PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO ARE GRIEVING

Jesus, healer and teacher,  

you know what it is like to lose someone you love and you wept for your friend, Lazarus.

Help me make sense of what is happening,

because some days I feel angry, some days I feel lost,

some days I feel helpless, some days I don't feel at all.

Send me comfort and people to walk with me.

 

Help me through this pain,

and let treasured memories sustain me.

Help me to have faith that my loved one is now with you,

free from pain and worry.

 

Help others who are grieving this same loss.

 

I ask this in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

AMEN

Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe


12/12/2024

 

Here's a brief introduction to Our Lady of Guadalupe

A PRAYER

Our Lady of Guadalupe,

O dark Madonna of the Americas,

Come again to bring us

the roses of compassion, justice, and peace.

 

In the midst of our winter,

bestow your love on all those marginalized in these lands,

and give us your gift to see dignity

in the least of those among us.

Bless all who suffer from injustice.

Shelter them in the warmth of your love

and safeguard them from evil that rages around them.

Turn our eyes and hearts to their needs

and give us courage to act for their good.

We ask this, relying on your compassion and confident of your love.

Amen

(Prayer from Education for Justice)
