Your Word reveals to us a simple truth,

Daily Prayer
TUESDAY 28 FEBRUARY 2017
We pray and are thankful of the people around us.
God of Love,
I thank You for the people in my life
who are easy to love.
I thank You for my family and friends
who understand my actions,
who support me in my decisions,
and whose presence can lift the burden of a thorny day.
Help me with those who are difficult to love.
When they come at me with criticism
and wild expectations,
when they ignore me
or try to bend me to their will,
let me recognize their flaws and their dangers.
But then let me remember your attitude toward them,
and lead me to see them
in the light of Your love.
As St. Teresa of Avila said:
“In all created things discern the providence and wisdom of God, and in all things give Him thanks.”
Our Father….
School Prayer

Daily Prayers
Tuesday 21 February 2017
St Peter Damian
Bishop and Doctor of the Church
Born at Ravenna in the year 1007. After completing his studies he taught for a short while but then gave it up and became a hermit at Fonte Avellana. He was elected Prior of the community and strenuously promoted religious observance both there and in other parts of Italy. In the difficult times in which he lived he helped the Roman Pontiffs by his writings and acted as legate to reform the Church. He was created a Cardinal and Bishop of Ostia by Stephen IX. On his death in the year 1072 he was immediately venerated as a saint.
We pray that by the example of St Peter Damian, we will prefer nothing to Christ and to make the service of the Church our chief concern so that we come to know the joy of your eternal kingdom.
Our Father …..

Blesseds Jacinta and Francisco Marto
Francisco Marto and his sister Jacinta Marto also known as Blessed Francisco Marto and Blessed Jacinta Marto, together with their cousin, Lúcia dos Santos were the children from Aljustrel near Fátima, Portugal, who said they witnessed three apparitions of an angel in 1916 and several apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1917. Their reported visions of Our Lady of Fátima proved politically controversial, and gave rise to a major centre of world Christian pilgrimage.
We pray that like Jacinta and Marco, we may have the courage to open our hearts to you and welcome you into our lives, we ask this through the intercession of your blessed Mother.
Our Father……..

Daily Prayer
Thursday 16th February 2017
Today we pray for vocations to the priesthood.
Jesus our Saviour came down from heaven to shed light on our human existence, and to show us the way to the Father.
We pray that as we grow and develop in the image and likeness of God ‐ body, mind and soul ‐ we understand more fully the dignity, vocation and purpose of our lives and become witnesses of God’s truth to those around us.
Now in faith we ask God to provide for our needs as we say –
Our Father……..
