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

International Day of Happiness
Close
;
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
Close
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
