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

by society's expectations at the time.

 

Help us to break through any barriers which might prevent us

from being the best we can be.

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

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:

... gross human rights violations and for the dignity of victims.
