Prayer for Grandparents

Lord Jesus,

you were born of the Virgin Mary,

the daughter of Saints Joachim and Anne.

Look with love on grandparents the world over.

Protect them! They are a source of enrichment

for families, for the Church and for all of society.

Support them! As they grow older,

may they continue to be for their families

stong pillars of Gospel faith,

guardian of noble domestic ideals,

living treasures of sound religious traditions.

Make them teachers of wisdom and courage,

that they may pass on to future generations the fruits

of their mature human and spiritual experience.

 

Lord Jesus,

help families and society

to value the presence and roles of grandparents.

May they never be ignored or excluded,

but always encounter respect and love.

Help them to live serenely and to feel welcomed

in all the years of life which you give them.

Mary, Mother of all the living,

keep grandparents constantly in your care,

accompany them on their earthly pilgrimage,

and by your prayers, grant that all families

may one day be reunited in our heavenly homeland,

where you await all humanity

for the great embrace of life without end. Amen!

Pope Emeritus Benedict XV1

Come to me like a Cry of Joy

Come, Lord Jesus Christ!

When my life sinks in sadness,

Come to me like a cry of joy.

Come, Lord Jesus Christ!

 

When my heart is as hard as a rock,

Come to me like the dew of springtime.

Come, Lord Jesus Christ!

 

When noise invades my haven,

Come to me like an oasis of silence.

Come, Lord Jesus Christ!

 

When the wind of hate rises within me,

Come to me like a kiss of pardon.

Come, Lord Jesus Christ!

 

When I am sinking into the darkness of death,

Come to me like a child’s smile.

Come, Lord Jesus Christ!

 

And when the earth encloses me in its arms,

Open for me the doors of your mercy.

Come, Lord Jesus Christ!

(Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)

The Parable of the Sower

Remember us, O Lord, by your loving care!

Jesus taught his disciples with parables.

He said to them, “Listen!

One day a farmer went out sowing…”

 

So that your Word in us, Lord,

does not fall on the roadside and Satan remove it from our hearts

We pray to you.

 

So that your Word in us, Lord,

does not fall on rocky ground and we be fickle at our first temptation,

We pray to you.

 

So that your Word in us, Lord,

does not fall among thorns and the cares of life

and the enticement or riches choke it,

We pray to you.

 

So that your Word in us, Lord,

falls on rich and fertile soil and we yeild fruit in abundance

We pray to you.

 

Lord Jesus,

Sower of all the good that is in the world,

place in us the seeds of goodness and justice.

Let our land yield a harvest of brotherly love

and sheaves of joy for eternal life.

 (Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)

Matthew 13:1-23   Mark 4:1-20   Luke 8:4-15

Awareness Campaign  When an adult has a sudden cardiac arrest, his or her survival depends greatly on immediately getting CPR from someone nearby. From the moment of collapse, the chance of survival decreases by 7-10% per minute when CPR is not being performed. Hesitation cost lives.  We hope our simple campaign message of “Check, Call, Compress” will help save lives and improve the outcomes of those who suffer a cardiac arrest.

Check is the person unresponsive and not breathing?

Call Call 999 or 112

Compress Push hard and fast in the centre of the chest until help arrives. 

See posters at Church entrances. 

We now have a Defibrillator in our Parish Centre.

 

God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

God the Father,

we praise you and we bless you

because you are the Father of Jesus,

and because you wish to be our Father also

according to your love and mercy.

Blest are you, O Lord, through eternity!

 

God the Son,

we praise you and we bless you

because you are the Son of the Father’s love,

and because you wish to be the eldest brother also

of all the children of God.

Blest are you, O Lord, through eternity!

 

God the Holy Spirit,

we praise you and we bless you

because you are the love of the Father and the Son

springing up like a fire out of their affection,

and because you wish to dwell in our hearts also

like a furnace of love.

Blest are you, O Lord, through eternity!

 

God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

we praise you and we bless you

because you are God surpassing all praise

yet you accept the stammering of our adoration.

To you we direct our love forever and ever.

Blest are you, O Lord, through eternity!

(Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)

Ireland is home to Catholics from many countries and where the Holy Mass is celebrated in many different languages. Migrants leave their homes in search of a better life and face the difficult experience of migration in its various forms. As Christians, let us celebrate the diversity all around us, reach out to and pray for all migrants to emphasize the unity of the human family and the values of acceptance, hospitality and love of neighbour today on Penecost Sunday.

Prayer for Pentecost

God, whose Spirit is known

In the bringing together of those

Who were once kept apart,

You have announced good news

In the very human accents

Which have become most dear to us.

 

And so we pray:

Come, Holy Spirit,

And celebrate in us that love of God in Jesus Christ

Which need never be measured and will never run short,

And for whose cadences you have given us,

Without distrinction, the ears to hear.

Exams

We remember in our prayers all those doing Exams this month,

Here is one Prayer before Exams:

Oh great St. Joseph of Cupertino, who by thy prayers obtained from God

to be asked at your examination the only question which you knew,

pray that I, like you may succeed in the examination which lies before me.

In return I promise to make you known, and cause you to be loved.  Amen.

 

The Ascension

Jesus Christ

Lord glorified on high

look with love upon

your brothers and sisters on earth.

 

Your ascension is the hope

of our future glory,

and your presence near your Father

announces our own entrance

into the eternal dwelling.

 

We pray to you:

Let the desire for heavenly realities

not make us neglect our work on earth.

 

Let our hope for the future

inspire in us a respect for the present moment.

 

Let your ascension into heaven move us

to make your glory dwell on earth.

 

Thus we will be witnesses to your presence

among our brothers and sisters

until the end of time.

(Lucien Deiss )

 The Hope that is in Us

(cf. 2nd Reading today)

God our Father, you wish us

always to be ready to answer

anyone who asks the reason

for the hope that is in us.

We pray to you:

Place in us your Holy Spirit,

the Spirit of truth and love.

Help us to bear withness to your truth

with the purest charity,

so that our truth may always be charitable,

full of respect for those who do not believe.

Help us also to bear witness to your love

with a shining truth,

so that our love may always be true,

full of patience for those who do not love you.

Then we will be witnesses of your Son Jesus,

in whom love and truth dwell together.

(Lucien Deiss )
