A message from Fr John
Posted on: 05/10/2020
Dear Friends
Good morning
Yesterday’s funeral was special - a loving tribute to a unique individual. I know all bereavements are unique; we all experience the loss and sadness in our own way, but it’s all the more difficult when the deceased is so young. Please keep Declan and all those who loved him in your prayers.
The opening prayer of the Funeral Service is very poignant and expresses our faith so clearly.
Lord our God
the death of our brother/sister N.
recalls our human condition
and the brevity of our lives on earth.
But for those who believe in your love
death is not the end,
nor does it destroy the bonds
that you forge in our lives.
We share the faith of your Son’s disciples
and the hope of the children of God.
Bring the light of Christ’s resurrection
to this time of testing and pain
as we pray for N. and for those who who love him/her
through Christ our Lord.
Amen
St Joseph, guardian of our youth, pray for us
Every blessing
Fr John
