Light a candle
Lord you are the light of the world.
May your light guide and comfort us. We ask you to bless this candle, and more importantly bless the person who lit the candle. May these lights serve to remind them of your presence. Light brings comfort, warmth and hope. May this comfort, warmth and hope touch the hearts and lives of those seeking comfort during difficult times.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
All intentions are included in our daily Masses and prayers.
A candle and prayer…

Lord Jesus Christ you bless me
Every day and you're in my heart to
Stay and I love you so much in life
And you give me the strength to carry
On and to pray for others who are sick
And suffering too and may the power
Of the Holy Spirit enlighten me and forgive
Us all who have sinned daily in life and
Lord Jesus Christ here my prayer
Amen.

The Feast of All Souls
2nd November
Today’s feast connects us to all those who have gone before us – our families, friends, neighbours and fellow human beings who have died. It reminds us of the great journey we all are on and the mysterious and painful transition we make from this world to the next. Far from leaving us, our ‘departed’ brothers and sisters are just gone before us. We are still one family. Today we remember especially all those who died recently and whose loss we still grieve.
May the souls of all the faithful rest in peace. Amen.

Please heal my sister Maryanne’s body. She can’t walk as she needs two knee replacement surgeries. She has so many other health problems, we’re going to see if she can get robotic knee surgery instead. Help her to walk even a little bit each day until we can see the doctor. Please let all her tests come back normal. And keep the swelling down on her legs. Thank you.
Amen,
Kate Leve
