Prayers for November: Opening Prayer:
Compassionate Lord, someone we love has been
taken from us, someone precious and
irreplaceable, and we know that there are no words
that we can say at this moment to express what we
are feeling, no words can alleviate our sorrow or
take away our pain.
So we turn to you to express the grief, the pain, the
emptiness, the loneliness, the fear, the uncertainty
that still at times threatens to overwhelm us.
We come bringing these feelings honestly before
you and ask for strength in times of darkness.
Hold on to us even when we find it hard to hold on
to you.
Be very near, even when we feel you to be very far
away.
Support us in the weeks, months and, yes, even the
years ahead.
Grant us the comfort you have promised, until the
time finally comes when we can look back, not
just with pain, but with thanksgiving, not just with
sorrow but with joy.
Intercessions
We remember in love those who have died, let us
bring our prayers to the God of hope.
✙ For this family that we may never forget those
who have died and that through prayer we may
remain united with them. Lord hear us.
✙ For those close to death that they may feel the
comforting presence of the Lord in their time of
need. Lord hear us.
✙ For those we remember today in prayer ......
that we may be re-united with them in the
peace of the kingdom. Lord hear us.
✙ For those who mourn, that they be uplifted by
the love of friends and family and the power of
prayer. Lord hear us.
Father in heaven listen to the prayers of your
family which we offer in the Spirit, through Christ,
Our Lord, Amen.
Our Father....Hail Mary....Glory be to the Father...
Closing Prayer
May the Lord support us all the day long ‘til the
shadows lengthen and the evening comes and the
busy world is hushed and the fever of life is done.
Then in his mercy may He grant us a safe lodging,
a holy rest and peace at the last. Amen.
Blessing
May Almighty God bless us, in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Bible Reflection / Study
It is proposed to hold a Bible reflection / study
group over a number of weeks. (dates to be
decided) It is planned to give an oversight of the
background to some of the Books of the Bible and
how the Bible was actually written. A selected
passage will be read, reflected upon and thoughts
shared about its relevance to today's world.
Pope Francis recently recommended that the bible
" is not for putting in a shelf, but rather for having
it at hand. It is for reading it often, every day,
either individually or in groups...”
The bible reflection group will be led by Willie
Davitt and a bible will be made available to each
person participating.
Please fill in the application below and return it to
the church next weekend if you are interested.
