A message from Fr John

Dear Friends

Good morning - I hope you’re keeping well and able to go for the vaccination whenever you’re called

Some prayers today:

For health care staff

Wondrous God, author of life,
you fashioned us in your likeness
and breathed into us
the life which is your own.
Be with those whose special care
is the health of mind and body.
Fill their hearts with awe
for the gift of life which is your gift
and sustain them daily in your service,
that their hands may bring to others
the comfort of your healing touch.
Through Christ our Lord
Amen

For those affected

Merciful God,
come to the help of your people.
Be our shelter in this time of peril
and strengthen the bonds of our community.
Bring healing to all who suffer
the ravages of disease
and assist those whose skill and art
can put an end to this affliction.
Through Christ our Lord
Amen

O God, our refuge and our shield,
even when we walk in the shadow of death
you are there at our side.
Be with your people in this time of danger:
bring strength to the afflicted
and protection to all your children.

St Joseph, pray for us and for all God’s children

Every Blessing

Fr John
