We invite you to join with us in prayer, wherever you may be in the world, on Friday, April 10th and Friday, April 17th, at 12 noon Kenyan time (10am in Ireland and UK).

We pray the following prayer together:

Almighty and All-loving God,

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

We pray to you through Christ the Healer

For those who suffer from the Coronavirus Covid-19

In (name your country) and across the world.

We pray too for all who reach out to those who mourn the loss

Of each and every person who has died as a result of contracting the disease.

Give wisdom to policymakers,

Skill to healthcare professionals and researchers,

Comfort to everyone in distress

And a sense of calm to us all in these days of uncertainty and distress.

This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord

Who showed compassion to the outcast,

Acceptance to the rejected

And love to those to whom no love was shown.

Amen.

From all in St Patrick’s Missionary Society.

We know that many of our supporters and benefactors cannot attend Mass at the moment due to the Covid 19 pandemic. We want to reassure you that we are including you in our community Masses and prayers and will continue to do so throughout this difficult time. We will include all those suffering from the virus, those who have lost their lives to it, and those struggling to overcome illness in our Masses and prayers in a special way. We ask for the strength to get through this worrying time together and we pray that everyone will look after each other, especially the vulnerable and isolated. We pray to St Patrick for his protection now and in the future. And we ask you to please continue to pray for us also.

In your hands, O Lord,
we humbly entrust our mother Julita Borjal
In this life you embraced them with your tender love;
deliver them now from every evil and bid them eternal rest.
The old order has passed away: welcome them into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain, but fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.

Amen.

Today we are marking our foreheads with ashes in solidarity with those who rise up in protest at the reduction of the Amazon Forest to ashes, in solidarity with the people of Australia as they see their beautiful lands reduced to ashes, in solidarity with the people of the Shannon Basin in Ireland as they see their fruitful land inundated with flood waters and their homes destroyed. We pray for all whose who commit themselves to combat greed in all its forms and for those, including our Missionaries, who fight against irreverence in the face of Nature’s limited and precious resources.

Amen.

PRAYER FOR GRANDPARENTS (This Universal Prayer For Grandparents was composed by Pope Benedict XVI in 2008)

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
strong pillars of Gospel faith,
guardian of noble domestic ideals,
living treasuries 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 live without end. Amen!

January 18th

Forgiving God,

set us free from the painful memories of the past,

that wound our shared Christian life.

Lead us to reconciliation

so that, through the Holy Spirit we may overcome

hatred with love,

anger with gentleness,

and suspicion with trust.

We ask this in the name of your beloved Son, our brother Jesus.

Amen.

November 1st

November is a month which touches the soul of every family as we remember our dearly departed relatives and friends. This is especially so if we have lost a dear one in the recent past and we long to keep their memory alive.

During November, we offer several Masses daily for our deceased benefactors and friends. All names sent to us are placed in our November “Altar of Friends” as we hold them in prayerful remembrance before the Lord.

We ask the Lord to continue to watch over and comfort you in your grief, and to bless all our departed family and friends. May they rest in peace.

Amen.
