Prayers
You are invited for prayer and reflection
Father Fergus Ryan invites you to join him for evening prayer
Especially for each evening of the November Novena (Sat 2 Nov to Sun 10 Nov 2024)

Both the tender babe and the terrifying order of King Herod.
The overused word 'awesome' sums it up.
This Sunday is World Mission Sunday, the Holy Father’s annual appeal for spiritual and financial support so that the life-giving work of overseas mission and missionaries can continue
World Mission Sunday collections take place in every single parish where the Church is present. This includes not only Ireland and Europe, but also in poorer parishes in developing countries.
A Prayer written by Bishop John Buckley
Mary, Mother of Jesus and of all the human family, with great joy we call you Blessed.
Be close to us always.
May no day pass without a prayer to you in our hearts and on our lips.
May you be a mother to us throughout all the years of our lives,
a mother ever ready to help us.
Stay with us, Mary,
when there is peace at home,
when joy and happiness make life easy.
Stay with us, Mother,
whenever we have sickness in the home;
it is then we need you most.
Should death come to any member of the family, old or young,
then comfort us in our grief and wipe away our tears.
And, Mary, when we close our eyes in death may we find you
waiting to welcome us at the gates of heaven. Amen.

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love - Psalm 103:8
Just last Sunday – 26th December we celebrated the Feast of the Holy Family. During this week I came across a couple of prayers very relevant and associated with the Holy Family.
