Prayer for Vocations


O God, you sent your Son, Jesus,

to bring eternal life to those who believe.

I join him in praying for laborers for your harvest.

May your Holy Spirit inspire men and women

to continue his mission through your priesthood,

diaconate, religious life and lay ministry.

May this same Spirit make known your will for my life.


Amen.

Peace of Christ to ALL

Prayers after Holy Communion



What has passed our lips as food, O Lord,

may we possess in purity of heart,

that what is given to us in time, be our healing for eternity.

May Your Body, O Lord, which I have eaten,

and Your Blood which I have drunk, cleave to my very soul,

and grant that no trace of sin be found in me,

whom these pure and holy mysteries have renewed.

Who live and reign, world without end.
Amen.

Peace of Christ to All

Lest We Forget


Ode For Soldiers Who Lost Their Lives Defending Freedom
They shall grow not old
as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
we will remember them.
LEST WE FORGET
***********************************

It is the soldier, not the reporter, that has given us freedom of the press
It is the soldier, not the poet, that has given us freedom of speech
It is the soldier, not the campus organiser, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate
It is the soldier, not the lawyer who has given us the right to fair trial
It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag,
who serves beneath the flag and
whose coffin is draped by the flag
that allows the protestor to burn the flag.
Amen.
Father Denis E O'Brien
Peace of Christ to ALL
