All Souls - the commemoration of all the faithful departed


02/11/2021

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.

Anniversary of the murder of 6 Jesuits and their 2 companions in El Salvador


16/11/2021

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.
