A message from Fr John
Posted on: 20/07/2020
Dear Friends
Good morning
It looks as though we’re going to have a couple of days of reasonable weather - fingers crossed.
I came across a little quote from W.E.B. du Bois - an African American civil rights leader and noted academic - which might give us a little pause for thought in these strange times.
‘Lord of the springtime, Father of flower, field and fruit, smile on us in these earnest days when work is heavy and the toil wearisome; lift up our hearts, O God, to the things worthwhile - sunshine and night, the dripping rain, the song of the birds, books and music, and the voices of our friends.
Lift up our hearts to these this night and grant us thy peace.
Amen
Amen. Amen. Amen.
Let us pray for those who are sick especially: Adela, Winnie, Sylvia, Joe, Susan, Irene, Paddy, Jimmy, Maureen, Michael and Steve
And for those who have died especially: Pauline, Richard, Tom, Paula, Michael, Susan, Denis, Tony, Antoinette, Sheila, Michael, Marion, Audrey, Bridget, William, Gerard, Maree and Joe
Please pray for Sheila Riley whose funeral we celebrate today
St Joseph, pray for us
Every blessing
Fr John
