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


01/03/2024

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

Anniversary of death of St Oscar Romero


24/03/2024

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


25/03/2024

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).
