Appeal for Nepal Mary Fanning from Fermoy is living and working in Nepal for the past 13 years. (Mary is a first cousin of my niece Anne). Thank God, she and her family are “ok”, but are devastated by the DREADFUL SUFFERING all around them. Mary is doing all she can to provide food and comfort for these people in great need. To help do this, my niece (Anne) is trying to raise funds, to forward to her.
If you would like to contribute any donation, small or large, it will be very much appreciated. You can be assured that 100% of cash collected will go directly to Mary, to help the local people.
There is a collection box near the Altar for your donations. Sr. Mary
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 witness to your presence among our brothers and sisters until the end of time.
(Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
